Hi--

Thanks David. I believe, I believe... and I sure don't want to replace
heads on this thing.

Guess I should get the Sony head cleaning cassette too, right?


Yes - at least people recommend keeping the cleaner and tape brand the
same.
But - be careful with these, since they can wear out the heads or turn
the
goo into varnish (this happened to me...). I use it only in VCR mode for
only 5 seconds per pass, and wait 30 seconds for the drum to cool before
the
next pass. Use only as needed, or mebbe once every 20-40 hours...
