Oh yes seen that. It believe it or not happened to all the rubber parts in a
Neal 103 cassette deck almost overnight one day. They just formed a gloopy puddle, the idler drive the pressure roller all of it. The mechanics were made in the USA by a 3M company by the unlikely name of wollensack. I did not repair it it had done many miles and worn out two tape heads so it had done its time, but to this day I have no idea what triggered the meltdown as it was only ever cleaned with ipa.
