Our audio guy used to keep some on his bench too. Cassette decks in particular with a weak muffled L channel (usually L) and reel to reel decks too with the same.

I remember getting in VCRs the customer had used the wet type cleaner tape in. Would pick up whatever crud before the pinch roller then get rung out at the pinch roller leaving buildup mostly above and below the tape path which would dry on the capstan shaft. Tough stuff to get off without polishing compound.
