Laquer Thinner on a pinch rolleer ... Zounds, what next!  I think that
Aromatic Hydrocarbon probably refers to something in the TriChlorEthene/
PerChlorEthene family.   Before trying out your chemistry set on your
H.K. deck, consider DiscWashers Capstan-Pinchroller cleaning cassette.
I used it recently on my car deck to clean up a particularly dirty
set of pinch rollers.   It seems to use a water-based cleaner, seems to
be very through, and gets both the capstan and the pinch roller.  The only
problem is that it drives decks with auto-revers mad, and you may have
trouble with an auto-stop deck, since most of these use capstan tension
to indicate that the tape is to be stopped/rreversed/rewound/whatever.
