Then take the tip of your finger while a tape is playing and hold it very gently against the heads as they spin. Use the back side of the headwheel where the tape does not touch. It will clean the most contaminated head. Be gentle and patient as you do this. Hollis sometimes flux remover works but make sure you clean it off right afterwards so it dosent eat glue off the heads Shaun ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest Brewley" <radiodok@xxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 6:27 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Question reguarding Panasonic VCRs > > doc > I do agree with a good cleaning I usually try a few times with head cleaning > fluid if no result I will try 409 (yes 409 household cleaner)just dry the > drum after,as alast resort try contact cleaner. > if one pickup is bad you will get a noisy picture sometime even a clear band > of picture at the bottom. > > > > >From: George Winters <littletiger67@xxxxxxxxx> > >Reply-To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Question reguarding Panasonic VCRs > >Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 12:59:46 -0800 (PST) > > > > > > Howdy Wally, > >If the heads are bad there won't be any video showing on the screen, if you > >have even and inch of video showing on the screen the heads are good, clean > >them again.
