Hi gang,
On the demagnetize subject, I’ve had #510 since 1975 and can count the times I’ve demagnetized it on one hand.
These devices (degassers) can cause more problems than they solve, so be careful!
Don’t love them to death.
Tony #510 and #029

When I bought my Han-D-Mag, it came with a gauss meter. Good stuff.

We have never demagged the prototype M4000 in 5 years. It gets turned on daily and the tapes are as fresh as the day we installed them. Demagging is not something you have to do in years unless you unplug the headblock and forget to shortout the audio box socket or have some major malfunction. DON'T PANIC!
