It has been my experience that once you start cleaning a rotary head
with qtips and alcohol the head is gone.





That might be because cleaning a DAT head with a Q tip is the fastest
way to destroy it.

It's already gone if you have to try "anything". The best way to keep
those decks clean is to not use junk tape. The little brush cannot get
clogged.
