George I believe that the statement that was made was regarding the cleaning of the ACE head----using a toothbrush and Windex---anyone attempting to clean a video head with a toothbrush has never been in this business and disregarded the warnings on the piece of equipment i.e. No User Serviceable Parts Peter Kowalik pe.kow@xxxxxxxxxxxx Keith's Stereo Burl On -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of George Sent: May 7, 2004 10:30 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: VCR. Goldstar GVT9100M. EP plays in SP speed Jim, I would be extremely careful with that tooth brush, if you brush the heads at right angle to the tape path you can very easily chip the heads. I use small strips of paper and alcohol wiping the heads back and forth, again in the direction of tape travel repeating with clean strips as needed. Any good head cleaner can be used and the paper is cheap. Works for me.
