Tape deck
Since
the
head and
capstan
assemblieS
are
in
contact
with the
tape, dirt
and
residue
from the
tape
may
easily
adhere
to these
parts,
causing
distortion.
These
parts
should
be
cleaned
periodically in the manner
described
below.
Clean
the
head surface,
pinch

we
recommend
that

months
and
replace
the
tape
with a
new one
every
year,
assuming
that
the unit
answers
about
ten
calls
a day.
-
Never
place
a cassette
tape
near a
magnetic
