Since I haven’t worked with a tape recorder in about 25 years, I’m looking for any up to date information on what cleaners are recommended these days.  I used to buy something from Radio Shack but that’s gone now.  I imagine maybe Staples or Best Buy may carry something that will do the job????
Try to find a rubber rejuvenator. You can clean the other parts with 
isopropyl.
