As solvents, it is my impression that isopropyl alcohol and ethanol are very similar. As such, I'm curious if the video engineers have tried it.


In my spare time (!) I'm involved in a society for restoration
of old, Danish computers.

We have a ½" 9-track tape drive (with SCSI interface, connected to
a Fedora box, bringing it a bit on-topic again).

Some times when reading old magtapes, the heads become very dirty.

This drive is cleaned regularly with isopropanol (2-propanol).
