Tape Player: Service and Repair
Tape Head and Capstan Cleaning
There are two parts that are cleaned on a tape player: the head and the capstan. Since they can be reached through the tape door, leave the tape player in
the vehicle. This service should be performed every 50 hours of operation.
To clean the head and capstan, use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary rubbing alcohol.
As an alternate way to clean the head and capstan, a cleaning cassette kit may be purchased. Follow the instructions included with the kit to clean the
tape player.
Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If the head becomes magnetized, every cassette played in the player will be degraded.
No service is performed on the tapes and warranty of these tapes is handled by the cassette manufacturer, not by the dealer. Any test tape used by the
dealer should be stored in it's container to keep the tape clean. Store cassettes away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
