Re: Sticky pinch roller assembly

Hi, Mike:

You might try wetting the area with some lighter fluid or other solvent, such as denatured alcohol. Do not try to clean rubber parts with denatured alcohol or use it to clean recording heads, however.

Normally, lighter fluid seems to dissolve gunked-up old grease fairly easily.

It also works to free up very stiff potentiometer control shafts.
