Once  treated as such,will your way of cleaning them avoid any possible

Any fluid you use to lubricate pinch rollers will eventually make them  
worse. The only proper way is to remove the roller, polish the axle, hone out  the 
hub and reassemble. There is nothing on a properly cleaned and restored  
Mellotron that needs oil except the motor shaft where it passes through the  
bushings.
