head cleaning kit help, please

[antikardinil]

ive searched the area stores and i cant find any head cleaner of any kind for my tascam porta 02 4-track. does anyone know of any sites that sell TEAC TZ-261 or any compatible kit, for that matter? thanks.

Just use some isopropyl alchohol (99%) and Q-tips and wipe perpendicular to the tape path direction. Be careful not to leave cotton on the head.

Demagnetizing is a different story.

Don't use it on the pinch rollers though...
Use rubber cleaner for that.

And ask Jake to tell ya the de-magnetizing story, you'll need it.
