Customer Review: Nice Unit - Good Quality - Cleans the Tape! Great Feature
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I had acquired 100 used tapes. They were dusty and not
perfectly clean. So I wanted a rewinder with a cleaning pad. It's a dry pad. It has
a kind of cotton covering on it. So after about 20 tapes the pad had gotten pretty
dirty. I thought hey why not just clean it. But what happened is that the cotton
material was just tacked on to the plastic. It was not actual cloth / cotton fabric.
So I had a spare but instead of using it I made my own using a 'non-woven' fabric
like the kind you get for the floor wipers. It's soft and there's no lint. It took some
delicate gluing with contact cement to get it on there correctly. But I've had excellant
results and now I know that I won't have to worry about replacing the cleaning pad.
I'll simply 'make' a cover over and over and over.
The unit itself is a bit cheap in one sense. It does not 'POWER' through a sticky
cassette. IF the cassette is balky and tight and poorly designed or otherwise less
than good condition the rewinder might stop and make it hard to finish the job.
But this happens on 1 out of 50 tapes. And believe me that tape is probably best
left out of the machine anyway.
So all in all I think it's a great value. And a good rewinder.
Treat it gently and it should last a long long time.
PS - I'm an engineer so I can tell you it's a good one.
Not bullet proof for rough service. But it will last with proper care.
