I have a very nice B77 Mk2 which is in great condition apart from the surround that has always felt "sticky" for want of a better word. Does anyone know how I can deal with this?

Pampers Sensitive Baby Travel Wipes, £0.49 from Superdrug. 12 in a pack. Works on stainless steel, but it depends on the nature of what the "sticky" actually is.

I’ve taken many a piece of gear apart to clean. The buttons on a 25 year old Sony CD player were quite grimy, so I took it all apart and put the front in the sink with dish soap, and scrubbed with an old tooth brush. But it sounds like you really don’t want to go there?
But a damp sponge with some grease cutting dish washing liquid on it will do wonders, make sure it’s completely dry before plugging it back in. A quick polish with a dry paper towel afterwards will remove any water marks.

Its the Nextel coating that gets Sticky with time and there is nothing you can do about it other than remove it.
You can remove it completely from the surface with Methylated spirit, remove the case before doing that
It doesent look that great after doing that so its best to respray it, go to Halfords for something suitable

Update:
Have painted one case with the spray and it does not look bad, little shiny and lighter, a bit like a Teac case
Overall its better than sticky and faded
