If it's still happening, well, there's nothing for it but a professional clean, if you can find someone to do it.

If that doesn't fix it, there must be a hardware fault.

Thanks, Shaun, ain't seen it before, ever.

Couldn't reconcile what I saw with degraded head performance, under any circumstances.

Using something like this (Sony DSR-11 PlayDeck) will not help, or willit help me. It will only save my camera heads in time.
