Tape Player: Service and Repair

CAUTION: Oxide accumulation can cause weak or wavering ground and damage to the cassette tape and tape player.

The playback head, capstans and pinch rollers may accumulate an oxide residue from the cassette tape while playing. Depending on the quality of cassette tape used, more or less oxide will accumulate. Oxide accumulation can cause weak or wavering sound and damage to the cassette tape and tape player head.

CAUTION: The use of other cassette cleaners is not recommended. Damage to the cassette player could result.

It is recommended for best performance that the cassette tape player be cleaned after every 10 to 12 hours of playing time with a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge or equivalent.
