It's here!

The tape head cleaner has arrived:



Just off to crack it open and see if it makes any difference at all! Have a look at the instructions and think of me... Oh, and I didn't find any speakers... :-(

Disaster #1

Well...I tried out a cassette in the tape player. As I suspected might happen, it started to unravel it and chew it up. Thankfully it wasn't one of the project tapes but annoying nonetheless.

So I'm afraid there is a bit of a hiatus while I order a cassette player head cleaning kit from ebay.

I'll let you know when it arrives.

WMDs

OK so here's the equipment...

• Audacity free audio editor - the essential software.
• A Belkin audio lead - good quality. I hope.
• A trusty Alba radio/CD/Cassette player (actually not at all trustworthy as you will see).
• A Compaq Pressario PC (getting rather old now).
