9.4.3 Tapehead cleaning
Sometimes things are just dirty and
need a good scrubbing. Your tapehead
could be really needing this. You can
do this using rubbing alcohol and some
cue-tip or cotton swaps. Gently dip the
swaps in the alcohol and move them
across the tapehead in a gentle but firm
sweeping motion. Repeat this as long
as there is dirt coming of the tapehead.
Don't forget to use new cotton swaps
when they are becoming dirty, you
don't want to spread the dirt over the
head, you want to remove it.
Don't forget to clean the erasehead too, although you don't need it for reading back tapes it is very
important for writing. When cleaning of both heads is done, make sure to let it dry for 15 minutes
before using it, you don't want your tapes to get wet OR to stick to your wet tape head while
playing.
