Maybe the spinning disk is leaving residue behind?

Quoted from Skidave:Spinning disk gets black like the rubbers.
Difference being that you probably replace the rubbers with fresh ones when you clean the machine. The disk has been there since the birth of the game, unless it has been changed with a NOS one later in life. Even then, the material will be from 1972, so a lot more brittle than when new and fresh.
Quoted from Skidave:It is not shedding.
Shedding might not be the word, but the disk is definitely subjective to wear. We're talking tiny specks here. Specks that are too small to see when playing, but when accumulated are visible and capable of making a machine dirty as hell.
I'm not saying this is definitely the cause, but I wouldn't dismiss it this easily.
