Brake fluid works for me. I am recapping an RCA 45EY-2 record player. They are notorious for slipping when dropping records so I figured while it is apart I would look into a new rubber idler and the eccentric cam rubber but changed my mind after trying brake fluid. The rubber was glazed shiny and hard and bound to slip. After cleaning and wiping the surfaces a couple times I painted a heavy dose of brake fluid on with a q-tip and let it soak over night. Next day the rubber is supple and flexible, has traction against my thumb and much like new. After wiping it off and setting for another day it's even better.
