Hi Laura
I hope your assignment goes well! Here is a link to some things I have done
- http://www.cupsnstrings.com/IsopropylDripSystem
I also use pellon which is attached over the heads, etc, when doing a triage
process of removing old splices and glue, and replacing them with archival
grade splicing tape. This lessens the wear on the head stack.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Cheers
Marie
(I too would like to know the outcome of your findings, very interesting
indeed).

Subject: [ARSCLIST] analog tape cleaning
Hello all,
I am joining several of my classmates in seeking the wisdom of folks
on this list... I am researching cleaning procedures for analog tape
and cassettes. What types of issues are involved here? How do you go
about the process of cleaning tape, if you do? If not, why? Are
there products or procedures you would recommend or, conversely, avoid?
We are assembling a guide as part of a class assignment (due April
17). Any information or resources you could point out would be
greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me off list -
