Goldstar GVT9100M. EP plays in SP speed Jeff, how did you clean the ace head? The best way I have found to clean a really clogged one is by using a toothbrush and Windex with ammonia D, then swab it and let it dry well. Also the ace head could be mis aligned, if you can locate a TP for the CTL pulse you can tell if you have a ace head problem or something else. ********************************************************************************************************** ********* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Intrepid Video Support wrote: > I've never seen one that didn't play EP tapes.
