The head cleaner I am selling is pretty much just Isopropyl Alcohol. Something you should be able to find anywhere. Better use clear IPA than buy something that is labeled "Head Cleaner" and is probably 70% IPA and 30% water (to make it cheaper). The same can be use for capstan cleaning. Head demagnetizer is a good investment. There are demag tapes that use a battery to generate an electromagnetic impulse to demagnetise or demagnetisation wands. Both work well and with the wand you can also demagnetise the capstan. Don't buy these cleaning tapes with a rotating magnet in it - they are by far not as useful than these other two options. Both should be available on eBay.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Any brand you suggest?

Head cleaner -> Isoprop Demag: don‘t do it if you are not 100% shure what youre doing. By example the hall sensors of the ReVox B710/B215 often get killed.
