the ball-cage. This build-up usually appears as a stripe
running across the middle of the rollers.

soaked in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Turn the rollers
with your finger and continue swabbing them until all the
dirt is removed. Be sure the rollers are still centered in
their channels after you clean them.
