FEATURING: QUICK & EASY HEAD CARE Four or five strokes of the powerful demagnetizer tip across the front of the head surface assures complete degaussing of the built-up magnetism. FLEXIBLE TIP ANGLE Even recessed heads on cassette players are easily axcessible by the narrow shaft and flexible tip which can be set to any angle within its 220° are for the best contact with the head.
