Hi all,
I very absentmindedly demagnetized the heads of my MX70 1"8-track with a han-d-mag while the tape machine was still powered up.
I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary after this mishap. I've read several dire warnings in the past that this sort of boneheaded mistake can permanently, irreversibly magnetize your heads. Is there any specific type of noise I should listen for that might let me know if the heads are indeed magnetized?
Has anyone else here ever made the same mistake?
