Well that wouldn't be good. I think you would just run it through smoothly. I used to use alcohol and cuetips when I had a job cleaning tapes for the computers for the State of Michigan. These were open reel tapes that ran through a machine where it had blades on it to clean the excess dirt an

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 t
