A few words of caution: regardless of what the salesmen tell you, it is
NOT a good idea to clean consumer VTR tape heads unless picture quality
indicates that they need cleaning.  Regular "P.M." on the heads 
(particularly if done incorrectly) will do far more harm than good.

Also, avoid like the PLAGUE the "tape head cleaning tapes" -- most of
which can do massive damage...
