[Vintage-Audio] Cleaning up old equipment

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Michael,

Lee has this solved. My comment is cautionary.

Rubbing Alcohol, Isopropal Alcohol, can damage some plastic and rubber 
parts. Be careful not to get it on them.

Does fantastic things for tape decks, heads, drive wheels etc.
