[vcf-midatlantic] rubber rejuvination

[David Gesswein]

Its for the other situation when rubber gets hard and too slick.
I've also used the TechSpray rejuvinator. I've used it on plattens where
the paper would slip. The rubber didn't really feel softer but the paper
stopped slipping. I also need to use it on my TU10 capstan. The rubber
I could get it redone in was a harder black than the original tan so the tape 
sometimes slips.  Putting the rejuvinator on gets it to be happy for a while.
