My 3DO phat is making a grinding noise when playing discs.
I stongly suspect this is caused by discs slipping on a rubber disc in the drive which has become dirty (dust, lint, small hairs). This small disc presses against the center of the CD-R so the drive spindle can apply torque and get up to speed.
I could clean this with rubbing alcohol but I've hear that spirits cause rubber to dry and crack.
I could clean this with goo gone or similar cleaners but they leave a residue that I don't want getting on my discs or evaporating into the console.
I could clean this with water but since I can't remove this part some water will drip into the other parts of the drive and cause rust.
What is the best way to clean rubber on retro systems and accessories?

Clean with a damp cloth if your tism prevents anything else.

It is well known that rubbing alcohol will dry out rubber thus cracking it since it is somewhat porous.
Honestly op, just use a lint free rag like this guy suggested that is damp and blow it out with air afterwards to make sure no fuzzies and shit is there.

get a can of rubber rejuvenator, any computer tech shop that repairs commercial grade printers/xerox units should know what you're asking for
