[net.audio] demagnetizing tape heads

sdo (10/28/82)

I agree totally with Will Martin's advice on the subject.  I'd like
to add one further caution, especially if a powerful, professional
demagnetizer is used.  It will demag. everything, including the
magnets in mechanical meters if the deck has them, so it should
be kept in the tape transport area, and nowhere else.

Also, as much as possible should be kept off while doing this so
that amplifiers and speakers are not damaged.
