TEAC E-3 Tape Deck Head Demagnetizer for Reel to Reel Cassette, Cassette Tapes, 8 Track Tapes & Tape Decks Condition - Used Works GreatIm including a a Copy, I made, of the original instructions. Please see pictures for the item being sold Instructions:Teac E-3 works Great ! leave the plastic tip on. You can test if it works using a paperclip first, hold the demag close to the clip and press the ON button, if the demag starts buzzing you have a winner. Take the tape off the machine and turn the power off. That is very important otherwise when coming close to the heads, 60 cycle current pulses produced by the demag will look just like 60hz audio signals to the heads and will seriously damage the electronics + VU-meters try to escape the room. :cry: Sometimes its also better to take the head-cover off so you can reach properly, it depends what reel to reel model you have. So turn off the machine first. Plug the demagnetizer in and 4 feet away from the recorder you push the on button. Move slowly in to the headstack . Move the demag slowly up and down close to the head, not touching the head, and slowly move away (on button still engaged) at least 3-4 feet away and release the button. NEVER let go of the on button when close to the head, that will do the opposite and magnetize the heads instead... :sigh: After you do the playback-head and record-head + tape-lifters if your deck has that,you are done, skip the erase-head. ******************************************************************************************************************************** Tape drive heads capstans, and guides can become magnetized from operations. Audiotape drives can become magnetized from long hours of use. They can be demagnetized and returned to full and complete use. The Teac head demagnetizer is easy to use and has the required magnetic field to properly demagnetize your heads and guides. Plug it into an AC outlet, place the tip close to the recording head and use a slight rotary motion to cover the entire surface area of the head. These demagnetizers should be used at least every 8 hours of playback on your reel to reel, tape deck, 8 track, video recorder etc. It is compatible with all major brand name reel to reels, tape decks, VHS recorders such as Aiwa, Akai, Hitachi, JVC, Kenwood, Nakamichi, Otari, Panasonic, Sansui, Sony, Sharp, TEAC, Tascam, Technics, Toshiba etc., Just to name a few. FEATURES Flame retardant ABS plastic housing 8 Foot cord with non-polarized plug Plugs into any 110V wall socket Can be used to demagnetize many parts Flexible and easy to use ReviewI have been using the cassette-shaped TDK HD-01 demagnetizer for years with very good results, the only drawback being that the demagnetizing process was limited to the playback and/or recording head depending on deck. This great little unit remedies this, as now one has the ability to demagnetize the whole tape path (capstan shafts, guide posts etc), it just needs a little more caution during use. An indispensable tool now that cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes enjoy a revival! We take great pride in customer satisfaction and accurate descriptions.
