[sci.electronics] cleaning VCR heads, guides etc.

philb@orca.WV.TEK.COM (Phil Biehl) (04/18/89)

	Well, the ole' Beta machine has started to act up and before
	I dive into it with scope probe in hand I want to make sure
	it's not something simple and stupid like a dirty tape path.
	What I would like to know is what is the cleaning procedure
	for a beta machine? What kind of cleaning fluid and appli-
	cater should I use? QTips? Chamois? What about demagnetizing? 
	Will a regular reel-to-reel type demagnetizer work or do I 
	need to get one made for especially flying heads?

	Thanks

	Phil Biehl, N7FWL
