What alternative cleaner do you use on printer rollers and such?


A couple hundred years ago I had a small side business repairing
typewriters and small office equipment. I used Fedron to "restore"

I was surprised to see the stuff still available now that
all the typewriteras are either in museums or landfills. :-)
