Re: [ARSCLIST] Cleaning Tape Deck Pinch Rollers

["Peoples, Curtis" <curtis.peoples@xxxxxxx>]

I purchased a couple of tape machines from Otari and the topic of
cleaning the pinch rollers came up. Their representatives at that time
recommended using Formula 409. They claimed it worked well and did not
have any residual effects. I have not used it, but could be a viable
option for the price. Has anyone else heard of using 409?
