I'm looking for tape head cleaners that are suitable for my needs! First use has yet to occur (still in box
5/5

Keeping the playback heads clean and shiny on my VCR recorder required long, thick head swabs. If they get dirty, they can reach the playback video and audio heads without the unit having to be disassembled. I'm well- The items are packaged in a bag, boxed, and labelled as 'new' I am happy with the sale. The order arrived 2 days earlier than the expected delivery date published online! With - shopping has never been easier No experience yet, but so far I believe they are a good match for what I expect (so four out of five stars).

I really liked the fact that there was no residue left by cotton swabs like with polyester The handle is long and sturdy, and the cloth is thick and absorbent The foam head is soft and comfortable Scrubs dirty magnetic tape heads nicely and polishes them after grime is removed - perfect for cleaning magnetic tape heads A good candidate for the Otari MX5050BII2 R2R install Approximately 1 inch and a half The Onkyo 3 head 1/8" Cassette deck is available in a variety of colors

This is a great drug
5/5

I've been buying 'green' swabs because they are so much cheaper. As the surface area is reduced, you are able to get more for your money, but you end up using more. The 'green' ones can also fall apart if treated with chemical agents. It's possible that both have their own uses, but they are clearly superior to each other. They are priced very high, and that is my only complaint.

I find the photos There is no guarantee that these will work A dampened cloth
3/5

Getting these for cleaning my camcorder's heads was the reason for my purchase. In the description, there is a completely misguided picture on page 2. This is not a pre-release A moistened cloth Due to their dry nature, you will need both denatured alcohol as well as.
