Hi



Does anyone have one of these that I could buy?



We recently purchased a second hand video recorder, it has been fine for a few weeks but it is now not playing the videos very well, and a message on screen keeps coming up with "Dust on the heads" so we have been told that we might a head cleaner???



Help?????????

Crofter I'm told this can often be cleared by playing a new tape or an old one all the way to the end and back several times.



Hope this helps. A VHS tape head cleaner is the next thing...



It is a VHS recorder so don't know why anyone should query that unless they are just being facetious.

The simplest way is a dab of spirit, (ie, meths on a cotton bud) and simply clean the head, gently, and also clean the rollers in the same way.
