	I have been told that cassette type head cleaners are not
	a good choice for cleaning VCR heads. (by a salesman who
	didn't try to sell me anything)

	Evidently, they will clean the heads for free if you bought
	the VCR at their store.

	Question 1:
	
	Are cassette head cleaners really not any good?

	Question 2:

	If the salesman can clean the heads I'm sure I can. How
	do I do it?( Buy a kit a Radio Shack? )

	Question 3:

	What about the tape path? I would imagine VCRs have
	rollers and capstans similar to cassette decks?


	Thank you all in advance.
