Is this the correct forum for this question? I use pure acetone for this purpose, and it works fine. It is usually sufficient to dissolve the hard glossy coating that has formed on the rolls and get to the fresh sticky rubber below. I recently fixed a LW II NTR exhibiting exactly the same symptoms than you describe. Probably won't work for totally dried-up, cracked rollers - in that case some commercial miracle juice may, or may not, work better. And a piece of rough cloth (e.g. denim) works much better than a paper towel for scrubbing. /Mikael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
