Breadman: the advice already given is on the money. Since you may be considering the purchase of a head demagnetizer, I want to mention that I have a used professional demag unit, the "Han-D-Mag", made by R.B. Annis, available for sale. This model is a double-ended, probe unit, and is virtually unsurpassed for demagnetizing the heads of home tape recorders.
The R.B. Annis head demag units are superbly built, and my unit is in essentially mint condition. I no longer need it however, since I sold both my open reel and cassette decks.
I have listed this unit on Audiogon several times, but no takers so far.
If you are perhaps interested in buying the demag that I have for sale, drop me a personal E-mail and I'm sure we can agree on a fair price.
