hi guys!

do you think if I buy a small demagnetizer I can do it myself, or 
should I get someone who�s into electronics professionally?

I read Norm Leete�s maintainance page, so I would remove the tape frame 
completely. But is there another risk beside of screwing up the tapes?

Demagnetizing the heads is a simple job.  I put the method I use at the 
bottom of this page:
