My Pioneer CT-737 MKII has developed recording problems,specifically dropouts while recording (mostly with type I tapes) and also starting to show signs of excessive wow & flutter ( I can hear this especially with simple piano music or similar) on its latest recordings.
I have been in contact with Alex as he was the only tech I would trust to work on the deck, but now that he has landed a really nice job,(and BTW, best of luck for the future Alex!) its not possible to send it to him right now.
I have been speaking with Vince recently and thanks to him for his advice
Alex said it may just need a service and new belts.
So I am willing try and give the deck a simple basic service. I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but I know my limitations and I would not tackle anything too adventurous, but some advice on a basic clean and lube for this machine is what I'm looking for

I don't think the belts are the problem as they were replaced recently enough, but I could be wrong,
I think a good clean of switches and similar would be a good idea but this is where I need advice on safest and most efficient (if they are the same) way to go about this,
I don't have De-Oxit but I have Servisol Super 10 which afaik is the same thing, but just don't want to go spraying it in the wrong places.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate any replies and advice.
