That's the method I use for cassette decks, too, I use the commercially available, wet cleaning kits for my drives, but I have never cleaned them more than once a year! I think the packages recommend once a week or something truly outlandish like that. BTW, I use the professional cleaning fluids w/rubber conditioning for my personal tape decks, but at work where Iwe've done mass duplication of tapes, we just use q-tips and alcohol to clean the heads--a lot cheaper and almost the same results... _________________________________________________________ | | | Eric Merrill tippy!emerrill@newton.physics.purdue.edu | | | | Disclaimer: | | If you think I'm serious, that's your problem! | |_________________________________________________________|
