Also seeing this video and watching u do this brings back my memories as a child my dad cleaned his own vcr by hand and at time was only rubbing alcohol and no other fancy solutions but he did exact same way to the tee and thought me some I remember and some I don't but thank you for this video its brought happy and joy and some loved tears to me

I have this exact VCR - the JVC Super VHS ET. I bought it in 1998 for $850

This is a well informed video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

DON'T USE any q-tips on the heads! It can rip of the tiny wireing easy. There is a video on YT showing really good what can happen very easy.

I done one today, i used Zeiss lens cleaners, their like tissues impregnated with Isopropyl alchahol for cleaning your spectical lenses, that seem to work pretty good...Fred in Uk.

Being French, I haven't read all the comments...
To clean the head drums, it's easier to use chamois sticks. They avoid touching the heads.

Can this help get rid of clicking and popping sounds during audio playback?

Intradevar asa se curata capul vcr cu alcol izoproprilic, este foarte bine ca mai sunt si oameni normali de generatia mea ca, cei care ne urmeaza, or fii ei mai scoliti cu facultati dar sunt praf ca sa nu spun varza si fara carne . Felicitari in continuare

Thanks. Just what I was looking for to clean it before I digitize my old tapes. Bonus was this is the identical model I have.

[kyokochan]

I own a similar looking JVC S-VHS VCR, but its an earlier model. Mine is the HR-S3500U made in 1998. Also kudos to you having a VCR with built-in TBC/noise reduction.

Thank You for posting this! I have multiple VCRs, but after one of them 'ate' an experiment tape, I was reluctant to attempt to digitize my old tapes. I ordered Pec Pads, but you mention that the cleaning fluids you use are no longer available. Are you able to direct me to where I can purchase decent Audio Video head tape cleaners? Thanks again!

How often should the video and/or audio heads be demagnetized, if ever?

[kolinhildebrand]

I had found some white stuff inside my VCR that either looked like white paint, glue, or something else. Why is that in there? Should I really be removing it? Why or why not?

I have a bottle of liquid. It says "RQC cleaning ink" on it. I bought it to clean my printer. Can I use it to clean the head of my VCR? Thank you.
