Speakers + Cassette = Magnetized???

[Grinning]

'Allo,

I have a boombox with a built in base speaker (you know - for hyper 3D bass) sitting on top of my tape deck. Am I running the risk of magnetizing the tape and or heads? Should I move that boombox?

Speaking of which, will any demagnetizer do - even the $11 cassette looking thingy-ma-bob from radio shack?

thanks,
Grinning

Ooh, ooh...here's my chance, Buckaroo Banzai fans...

Yes on 1 and no on 2.

Search for the word "degaussing", I think we discussed that in April or May.
