I've noticed a few spots of rust on some TU55 tape heads that
I have. I'm wondering what I should do about it in the short
term -- I've had an idea of putting something on the heads
and then cleaning it off later, like oil or vaseline or... ?
Any suggestions?
Is there anything I can do with the heads later to clean the
rust off? Are they totally hosed, or will they still work?
This is on my "todo list" as far as restoration goes, just
haven't gotten to it yet, but wanted to prevent any further
damage if possible...
Thanks in advance,
-RK
