Never heard of the Get Smart reference. Nice... Actually, it's a self-imposed nick. (I'm just ordinarily plain ol' Bob.)

A lot of people warn against using alcohol on rubber idlers, but the higher concentrations evaporate quickly, and I've done it many times over the years without issues. But the regular rubber stuff admittedly does a better job.

Glad you got it working. Enjoy the tunes!

Cheers,
Evil assistant Bobbo :-P
