[jjdd]

Hi i did buy from ebay Geneva PF-740 Video Tape Cleaner and it works very good i did replace the old cleaning cloth with Pec Pad 10x10 cm that i did cut to the right size
for the center cleaning pin i did do a custom wedge to hold the new cleaning cloth

i did replace the SQUARE BELT to i did buy the 106mm x 2mm x 2mm from here https://www.ebay.com/itm/SQUARE-BELT...72.m2749.l2649

here are some pictures

What is your intended use for this?
General cleaning of tapes? (not suggested!)
Mold removal?

The reason general cleaning is not suggested is because sometimes start to flake/shed. You have ONE attempt to recover the material with quality. Subsequent plays will be drastically reduced, with heavy noise on screen.

i was thinking General cleaning of tapes that i know is dirty so it does not get to my vhs player

but good to know i have to be careful if i use it

i did have a old vhs tape that a friend did ask to transfer to dvd and it did have some kind of oil on it and my vhs player did drop the picture but that was easy fix offcourse

I'm having trouble finding the right size replacement belt for the PF-740 based on the size you suggested "106mm x 2mm x 2mm"

Ebay & Amazon have tons but I cant find that size. Any suggestion where to look?

Thank You.
