Review on ๐Ÿ“ผ Efficient Video Tape Path Cleaning: TRACKMATE TM265 Wavetape VHS Cassette by Zachary Greene

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not every cleaner fits every VCR

I must have OCD or something. About 30 years ago I started building a video library on tape that grew monstrously to about 2700 tapes (you heard that right) before about 5 years ago I started converting everything to DVD. Dozens of VCRs were garbled during this project, and it turns out that 80's VHS tapes in general had TERRIBLE problems with MUDA accumulation, which is why I've been using head cleaners ALL THE TIME lately - wet, dry, wet and dry - and I've found that every VCR has certain head cleaners that WORK with it and some that DO NOT. Through my many attempts to find the right cleaner for the right car, I have found that THIS Trackmate WaveTape product works quickly and effectively to remove dirt from MOST (but not ALL) cars. I'm sorry that another reviewer of this product had a discrepancy between the machine and the product, but I could NOT refute his/her claim that this product was useless. Overall I call this the BEST head cleaning product.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
