CLEANING THE TAPE MECHANISM
After repeated use, dust, lint and tape oxides accumulate on the tape-han- dling mechanisms. For the best perfor- mance and sound quality, clean the record/play heads, pinch rollers, cap- stans, and erase head after approxi- mately every 20 hours of use. You can use recorder cleaner and cleaning swabs or a convenient head-cleaner cassette. All these cleaning products are available at your local Radio Shack store.
