Tape Player

To prevent deterioration of sound quality, periodical- ly open the door of each deck and clean the magnet- ic heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton bud dipped in alcohol. Also, demagnetize the head by playing a demagnetizing cassette (available through an audio equipment store).
