[QUOTE="KNL, post: 1168960, member: 15252"] My understanding is that the BIAS current, when recording, will effectively demagnetize the head (in case of 2 head decks). This thread seem to suggest the same: [URL]https://www.tapeheads.net/threads/duration-of-head-demagnetizing.89661/[/URL] Obviously all the metal parts should be demagnetized if it came in contact with equipment (screw drivers etc.) that may have magnetized the parts but for normal use, it seem to be unnecessary.
