I have 91% alcohol in the house. Is that safe to use on the heads and drum?

[ESRepair]

@67slats that will work fine. Be sure to use lint-free q-tips as well. -MrFixit

Thank you so much for making this video! This worked great! Used 70% alcohol, cotton swabs and a business card. It was so easy.

@stanleysfriends Thank you ,stanleysfriends. Glad this video helped you to fix your VCR ,after all that is our main goal . Just watch out for the really abrasive looking cards as well as the ones that look like they may come apart real easy. I learned this trick from a former coworker who was a electronics tech.
