With this being my first time dealing with Christie AW platters at all, in the six months that I've been using them a number of the Drive Wheels have gone bad. Now I know that the wheels should be replaced every so often so to help with proper take up and feed out. But, I've been having problems with them breaking down and having the break down of the wheel on the platter.
What would be the best way to clean this off, and how can I prevent this?
This evening, I was cleaning one of the platters and I had to use a razor blade to scrape off the excess rubber. The rubber was so sticky, like a Glue Rat Trap, that I had to use Denatured Alcohol to aid in cleaning the razor blade. I also used the denatured alcohol and a green scrub pad to get the residue off. I can't say that that was the best way to clean it, but with what I had to work with to get the job done, it worked nicely. Now I just need to go through and put the motor back on, and clean the residue off the motor.
