Thanks, Nsgarch. I am using it for a R2R. I know how to use one but I actually do have a question about the method.
First, here's what I know.
Turn the unit on about 6' away from the tape heads and approach the heads slowly. When at the heads, move the demagnetizer back and forth 4 or 5 times over the heads, guides, etc. at a speed of 1" per second. Slowly move the unit until 6' away from the tape deck, turn the demager 90 degrees, and turn off. Repeat for each head, guide, capstan, etc.
So here's my question. Do I have to move the demagnetizer 6' away from the deck after each individual component is demaged or can I just demag all of the components and THEN move the demager away from the deck?
