An eraser is not nearly abrasive enough if the rollers are as pitted and corroded as mine were.
Also had to get after the contact wheels and clean them up too.

The tuner works perfectly now.

  I strongly suggest you don't use any abrasives. The opportunity for removing 
plating is too great.
A Pink Pearl pencil eraser will do the job beautifully.
Jim W7RY sez:
I just used a green scratch pad on mine a few weeks ago. It cleaned it
up nicely and now makes good contact.
LIGHTLY is the key word here. You don't want to take off the plating on
the wire.
