The other day I got an old Craig portable reel-to-reel machine at a thrift store; quite a find, still has all the accesories; and as I was browsing through the 1961 instruction manual... It said that an alternative chemical to clean your rubber pinch roller with is, yes-, gasoline.
I have brought up this thread purely for amusement. I wouldn't clean any rubber parts with gasoline nowadays; as it contains ethenol, rubber's nemesis.

As long as you don't touch any plastic parts on the mechanism, it's ok.
Isopropyl alcohol can be used too.
I hope this doesn't land in Texas too...?!
