Otari MX5050 Tape Heads
Recently took possession of an Otari MX5050 reel deck and noticed that the heads and other tape contact parts are rather dirty. This is a rather old unit and the "dirt" seems likewise. This substance is a brownish colour, and not only dusty but chunky. I've tried a moderate cleaning with 99% Isopropyl alcohol and Q-Tips. I've had some success, but the "chunks" are real stubborn. How do I properly get the chunks off the heads? Does this dirt pose any threat to my tape? Thanks for any advice... JK. |
