Hi all-
Interesting pinch roller rejuvinator product from US
Recording. I wonder what chemicals it is composed of?
Went to the linked website, didn't find anything, but
maybe didn't dig deep enough. The stuff I am
currently using has methyl salicylate in its
composition (smells like wintergreen, of course). Any
opinions on this?
A timely email, as I just got done cleaning and
freeing some very stuck pinch rollers. Heeding some
previous recomendations, no oiling was involved at
all. Some serious Merbler Flicking was required,
tho(thanks Ken). My rollers are free at last!!
However, I ended up with 2 loud squeaky ones. Its not
hard to get oil just to the bearing surface (avoiding
the roller), but what would be the right oil?

Thanks (with back quite hunched)

Sorry I can't really help with your particular problem Bruce, but this
reminds me of something I've been meaning to mention here.

At work, there are about 6 bottles of "roller cleaner / rejuvenator"
left over from a honking great laser printer we used to have
(IBM3835). Thing is, though, it doesn't say what it's made of. Seems
most are half-empty, so some evaporation may have occurred over the
years (we didn't use it much, obviously). If anyone wants to take a
chance on them, they're yours.

rollers I use a triflon compound oil, smells like bananas, because
you need just a little and it lasts a long time. The oil has Teflon
in it and stays on the metal a lot longer than mineral type oil.
Been using this since day one with no after effects......Doug
