gl,

For tapepath/heads/guides: q-tips dipped in 97% Isopropyl alcohol (both available at any drug store.)

For rubber parts: Caig Caicleen RBR solvent has been recommended to me by veteran analog users, so I am getting that myself.

Link to manufacturer:

Also, for the long run, don't forget to have a de-magnitizer handy as the heads will gradually build up stray magnetism from the recording process.

That should keep your Otari happy

Best,
CC.
