Re: reel cleaning
I asked a similar question and most pepople on here will tell you Quantum Hot Sauce.
Re: reel cleaning
Clean the metal (bearings, gears etc) with acetone, mineral spirits, lighter fluid. Clean the plastic parts (bushings, sideplates etc) with simple green or similar cleaner.
Oil and Lube with hot sauce. She'll be purring like a kitten after that.

Diluted Simple Green and a tooth brush works well for removing old grease on the Main Gear and Pinion Gear. Just be sure to rinse well and allow time to dry before greasing. Also, use a lint free cloth.
