Vile Tony Said: 

 When you clean the capstan with alcohol, this makes the oxide sticky and coats the capstan with an oxide glue!

And the Hog Vibrator said:

Clean the surface of the pinch rollers with something that leaves no residue. NOT ALCOHOL.

All my searches on isopropyl alcohol say it doesn't leave a residue but you guys say it does.  I believe you guys.  What should we be using to clean the capstan and metal parts?
