Received very quickly. Just what we ordered. Fixed the video camera the first time we used it.Customer Review: Saved my entire Digital8 library!
Summary: 5 Stars
I pulled my Digital8 camcorder out of the junk closet a while back because I wanted to watch some old tapes that were of considerable nostalgic value to me. Unfortunately, none of the tapes would play correctly at all; there were a ton of lost frames, skips, and banding, making the tapes totally unwatchable.
I didn't really expect it to help when I ordered this cleaning cartridge, but I figured it seemed like a cheap thing to try. After running the cartridge through the camcorder for the 10 seconds recommended on the label, I popped one of my tapes in and lo and behold, it worked! I checked the rest of the tapes and now they all play back correctly too. Looks like the cleaning cartridge really saved the day.
Customer Review: so far, so good
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, yes, yes, I know a wet cleaner is better than a dry head cleaner like this TDK product. That said, there is not an alternative so I went ahead & tried this product out on my 4 year old Sony Digital 8 camcorder (the TRV-460 I think). The camcorder had perhaps 60 hrs of recording time on it (plus 60 hours playback) & it had become totally inoperable. A couple of 10 second applications w/ the head cleaner & all was well. Once or twice since then I needed to re-clean but overall I'm very satisfied.Customer Review: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!

My HI8mm machine was working just fine but I wanted to be sure the heads were clean to do a special project. After using this cleaning casette it rendered my machine useless. It will now not record or play any tapes.
Unforturnatley for me I did research on dry cleaning casettes after the fact. Many experts warn about these casettes ruining otherwise good machines. They instead recommend running a brand new tape for about 20 minutes as this will clean the heads safely.
I would like to sue the company the makes these things.
