Do you know if Pioneer at some point put these Elna's or was it a common upgrade owners did ? I see many stock CT-F1250's with black caps instead of the blue Elna's.DIY'er Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351190935579280213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361237673474611033.post-4717900327503704232016-07-24T12:00:44.478+01:002016-07-24T12:00:44.478+01:00I used Seaclean 2, which is available from CPC htt...I used Seaclean 2, which is available from CPC http://cpc.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?catalogId=15002&langId=69&storeId=10180&categoryName=All%20Categories&selectedCategoryId=&gs=true&st=ultrasonic%20cleaning%20solution<br /><br />It's was a "good squirt" of lube.

How much of the lubrication did you spray in the mounting holes and what exactly was the brand name and model of the ultrasonic cleaner? How long did you test this deck after cleaning and is it still working? Wow if this works you might help many audiophiles with this problem as some of us have taken this little basted of a motor apart to clean the commutator and it isn't a pleasant job and especially when you put it back together to find it still doesn't work properly.
