Hello again everyone, There are head cleaning kits that you can get from a full line electronic store such as RadioShack. There ar two kinds of head cleaning kits. There is the dry kind, but I found that that kind doesn't work to well. There is also the wet kind which uses an alcohol baced solution. This does wonders for any tape recorder. But however, cleaning the heads won't get red of the squilling sound that you hear on some old dusty tapes. When dust gets on the tape, it cosses that problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norma A. Boge-Conyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
