Cleaning Wipe Tape In Action!
This is the one very popular cleaning item everyone with open reel decks should use and it's been a while since we could get the poly fabric blend we need for this handy tape, but we scored and found it being made right here in the United States.  This cleaning wipe tape is for 1/4" open reel tape decks that DO NOT have pressure pads. The pressure pads were a very old system where a metal plate with felt pads would press the tape against the heads.
Our AC1CL6101
cleans and polishes
your heads and guides edge to edge in those hard to get places like the corners of the guides which you can not get with a cotton tipped applicator, and it's
non-abrasive.
Corner edges are very prone to dirt buildup which can score your tapes, cause them to shed, and ruin them.  There's enough tape on the roll for 100 seconds @7.5IPS which is plenty of play time to clean your deck.  Feel free to use a slower speed, and it can be used over and over until tape is dirty.  The pro 5" reel itself can be used for other purposes after the tape is used up.
Simply put AC1CL6101 onto your deck and play it through like you would play a recording.   Rewind, and store.  If your deck is very dirty, add four or five drops of alcohol (not included) through the threading slot in the reel flange, and play. Do not drench the tape with fluid.  Allow reel to dry before packing away.
Some of our customers are splicing a section of this cleaning tape into their leader tape to auto clean the deck before every use.  This makes a lot of sense because you know your deck will always be clean!
Works best with
professional and prosumer decks, or decks using foil to stop or reverse, because they do not use an optical sense to trigger.  If your deck uses optical sensing like a Revox A77, you
might
need to hold the play button to operate the deck to clean it, or put a color sleeve over the sensing bulb, or block the light in some other way.  Each deck is different, but we use a small piece of black tubing we simply slip over the bulb on Revox A77s to clean them.  Very easy.
We recommend using this tape often to keep your heads and guides clean and polished.  A smoother surface means less tape wear.  Your tapes will appreciate it!
And as always, thank you!
