What's the best way to clean the rubber in pins in between completely replacing them? Just a wipe down with a cloth?

hmmm I would assume alcohol would dry them out and make them break down faster, I would try some Novus 2 and see how that works

Use it once and you will thank me later. It's sold at most hardware stores around the paint thinner/solvents. It's amazing on rubber and metal.
Quoted from cireone:I could be totally wrong here, but, I use a diluted simple green to clean the dirt off of rubbers. Works really well. Not sure if it does any bad to the rubbers but so far so good...
That works too.. but simple green tends to leave residue unless you rinse it off with a wet rag. Westley's Bleache-wite works killer also, and the newer blend while less powerful is more kind on odor for indoor use...
This stuff is the best.

Quoted from Frax:I've been using alcohol, but I haven't had to do it much since my STTNG was just completely shopped out from A to Z and even the subway is cleaner than an Intel production facilitiy.
Not very fun, is it? Just did that myself.

I actually liked taking apart the subway system and poppers. It was finding all the stuff that was missing after I reassambled everything that wasn't fun. Took apart the right side twice after to replace two missing star posts and correctly set the rubbers back up..... found out last night I had not secured the top of the delta ramp to the borg ship so it was making the shot difficult at best and not letting balls go into the borg ship at worst. That was an easy fix though...just lifted it up and tightened the screws.
