     This note hasn't been active for over three years.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable place to have my vcr
    cleaned? Someone in the metrowest area would be best. Also, what does
    "pro" cleaning cost these days?

    RE: .-1
    
    Be careful of the $29.95 cleaning specials.  These often are the "lets
    insert a cleaning tape" types of deals.  A good cleaning will include a
    wet clean of both the heads and tape path, a good examination of all of
    the rubber parts, and an alignment check.  Typical cost is $40-$50.  If 
    parts are recommended (idlers/belts) the cost will be higher.
