If I try cleaning my own heads, will that void the warranty? Is it as easy as cleaning audio cassette heads? Can you use the same type of alcohol to clean VCR heads? Should one use Q-tip or foam cleaners on VCR heads? Are the heads easily accessible once you remove the housing? If you have any knowledge or experience with these matters, please either send me mail, or post to the net. I'm sure there are other VCR owners who would like to save themselves costly hassles by seeing this type of information. Thanks. Jim Collymore
