so whats the best thing to clean heads with? I've got isopropyl alcohol 70% "rubbing alcohol", doesn't have any ethyl in it. Does this work? Well, even if it doesn't, it's too late, I've already done it.....Anyways, help!
I use 100% isopropyl alcohol, the 70% stuff isn't ideal because of the 30% water. From what I've read here 100% doesn't seem that common in North America, but 'older style' pharmacies in NZ still sell it.antispatula said:so whats the best thing to clean heads with?

Is it an Akai GX series by any chance? These used "glass and crystal ferrite" heads which were, basically, glass heads. Very hard wearing.antispatula said:The machine I cleaned is really old, and there was a glass casing over the head. Is that weird?!
