For many years, we used CCL4 (tetra, tetracloromethane, carbon
tetrachloride) with excellent results.
It is the best I know to clean dirty pinch rollers, heads, tape
guides...

Apply with cotton swab soaked in solvent.

Also freon is very good, less agressive to plastic parts.

Unfortunately, both are now considered te be hazardous, carcinogen...

Subject: [ARSCLIST] head cleaning


I have a quick question about head cleaning an audio cassette
recorder/player.
What should I use to do this?

Just looking for advice from the pros.


Thanks,
Trey
