If your vintage Bell & Howell projector, TV, or vaccum is stained with a blue

The cord is rotten. This is a common problem with older wiring. There is
liquid plastic added to the pvc insulation to turn it from rigid pvc (pipe
pvc) into flexible pvc for wiring. If it's old or badly made it will rot and
the liquid plastic oozes out everywhere. This chemically reacts with the
copper conductor and forms nasty green plastic+copper goo. Since this is a
cord that will be moved, definately replace it before it rots away and falls
off.

You're too late, 8 years ago, the green goo which turned out to be an outerspace alien pestilence, oozed out of the outlet and ate WDS. A special response team from Area 51 showed up when called by local authorities to cleanup the mess. The corralled green goo and what little remained of WDS is in a hazardous storage area at the top secret facility being studied by scientists. WDS is survived by a wife, 4 ex-wives, 47 children and 349 gerbils. The gerbils really miss him. It was a real tragedy. (._.)

Thanks for the update. All along I thought the building inspector
gigged the guy for using the wrong colored lube to pull the wires.
