Of course the only ones I ever saw were the ones with damaged heads that came across my repair bench. But I used to see many with the rings of encrusted crap on the top and bottom of the capstan shaft from the wet stuff getting squeezed out exiting from the pinch roller.

The Beta Sonys in the '80s like the front-loader SL-2500 and the portable SL-2000 would get broken off tape guides from the wet-type cleaners like Bib and Allsop.
