At the beginning of operation VCRs and videoplayer provided with a node cleaning the video heads do not require manual cleaning. Unfortunately, it takes two to three years, depending on the number and quality viewed videotapes - and less with auto roller made from synthetic material, contaminated and ceases to perform its function. Cleaning the video heads manually restores proper operation only briefly, as the roller already he begins to contaminate them, and cleaning himself.
In the absence of such a site in need of repair shops to dismantle either the entire node-purge or only video. With all the diversity of the constructive execution of the node does not cause any dismantling difficulty: it is enough to remove the locking washer and the roller is freely removed from the axle.
The proposed method of recovery of the roller is as follows (the hams here opens a wide field of activity): need it "to wash". To do this, take half a glass of warm water and stir it in one a teaspoon of any washing powder. The first roller is placed in a received the solution for 15...20 minutes, then begin to "erase" his fingers squeezed, rolled, scroll. Then it is rinsed in clean water, and again placed in the solution for one to two minutes and again "erase".
To twist, turn inside, and also make great efforts not it should. "Wipeout" repeat 5-10 times to an acceptable purity of the roller. Last once thoroughly washed in clean water and left to dry at room temperature. To put something on the roller drying is not necessary.
After drying roller is mounted on its working place.
The described method of recovery roller is repeatedly tested, and the result has consistently been positive.
In some models of VCRs and videoplayer meet videos cleaning, made of foam rubber. Although I was not able to test the proposed the way these videos, I see no obstacles for using it and this case.
