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: http://store.caig.com/s.nl;jsession...NaNeRci1ynknvrkLOlQzNp65In0?sc=2&category=179 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.
