Good Morning all - I'm in the process of demagging the heads on 1407 and
am following Ken Leonard's procedure as detailed on his web site. If
you end up bumping one of the heads with the end of the demagger (wand
type), do you simply repeat the process for that head? If your thumb
slips off the demagger's spring loaded switch while inches away from the
headblock, is it safe to assume that you need to start the whole
procedure over again?

Thanks (I don't want to erase any tapes),
