Cassette Deck servicing

You know when you read many forums about Vintage gear there is always those people are so anal it kills me.

Here's what i use when i service my machines. Forget about that old bollox Revox use it so it must be the stuff to buy 

Hi-Fi nuts have this way of making a giant deal out of things 


MOBIL '1' 0W/20 FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL - CAPSTAN MOTORS


I use this because it's fully synthetic & the fact that i have a giant bottle from a past car, you only need a few drops anyway


CARLUBE 'LM2' MULTI-PURPOSE LITHIUM GREASE - METEAL TO METAL PARTS


Best grease ive used & its looks normal grease colour too 


CARLUBE MULTI-PURPOSE SILICONE GREASE - PLASTIC & RUBBER PARTS


If i ever service a crappy modern machine with all those cheap crap white plastic gears/cogs i use this on them, its also safe near rubber


KONTAKT SUPER 10 SERVISOL SWITCH CONTACT CLEANER/LUBRICANT


Don't waste you money on expensive over hyped stuff, imho this is great & lubricates too, ideal for Sliding potentiometers


ISOPROPANOL ALCOHOL

General Cleaner/Rubber cleaner. Don't try resurrecting hard shiny rubber, replace them & just keep on top of cleaning with it.
