Hi all
I am looking to capture some old video to digital using an old VHS recorder and was wondering about using Comma Contact Clean to clean the heads in preparation. The perceived wisdom seems to favour isopropyl alcohol, but as I have this cleaner to hand I thought it might be worth considering. Unfortunately the can does not indicate the contents, but the web description states that it leaves no residue...
"As with any electrical wires, they can become exposed to air and oxidation can occur, stopping the effective flow of current along the wire, or even on block connectors and terminals. Comma has a product which can swiftly remove this oxidation to restore the flow of electrical current. The Comma Contact Clean is a Fast acting cleaning formula to instantly remove oxidation and immediately restores the electrical current. It has a non-corrosive property that won't harm plastic connectors and blocks. The product is also non-conductive and will not leave behind any residue, so there is no need to wipe away any excess. The extended nozzle allows for a more accurate area for you to work on, which can help in hard to reach areas."
Is this likely to be suitable, or should I be patient and order the IPA?
thanks
Phil
