Subject: Rubber Rejuvenator

From: Mark Pring <markpringnz@yahoo.com>

Hello everybody,

As winter approaches here, I think it is time to get
started on restoring #1565. I am planning to start on
the keyboard.

The pinch rollers look in good condition but a lot of
them are stuck or sticking. I am intend to soak them
in isopropyl alcohol. I think this can cause problems
with the rubber of the pinch rollers and that they may
need to be treated with rubber rejuvenator afterwards.

New Zealand is a land with 2 mellotrons that I know of
and very few reel to reel tape recorders, rubber
rejuvenator is something with which to clean car
tyres.

So first of all would car tyre cleaner do the job? I
suspect not but that is all I can find here so far.
If not some trade names of products would be helpful
or a list of ingedients.

Thanks

Mark
