You can buy at various places (RadioShack, Wal-Mart, etc) a cleaning cassette. The box (that is, the cassette itself) has a small hole in the lower right front into which you can squirt a bit of cleaning solution (iso[propyl alcohol) that comes in the package in a small tube.
Put the cassette in the machine, and play. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norma A. > Boge-Conyers > Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 1:45 PM > To: PC audio discussion list. > Subject: RE: Eliminating audio tape squeal > > Hi Tom, > > Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of cleaning the > head, etc, my brain must be in stand-by this weekend.
