I have an old Christie Media cleaner that seems to work well. My prints look great when I run them through Film-Guard. I was running a print a few nights ago when I heard a squeaking noise. I traced it to the media cleaner. Evidently someone before me had improvised the O rings on the drive wheel. One is tight and seems to be the right size, while the other is smaller in thickness and is loose in the slot. I figured this is probably where the squeaking was originating.

Does anybody know the size O ring to use on this piece of gear? I have a #338 size coming from Applied Technologies. That seems to be right, but I just wanted to make sure.

I don't have an exact cross to them...I've always ordered them through Kelmar. They are generally reasonable with their replacement part prices.
