Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] demagging heads

The WORST thing you can do is turn off the demag
device close to the heads....that REALLY magnetizes
them and you'll have to float the wand over the head a
little longer when you resume. Don't use a demag with
an on/off switch. Just get a Han-D-Mag and you'll be
fine.
