Hi Rob, I works fine now, except when in Pause no picture is displayed I think I once read that this is the norm on 3V22s ?
Re Head cleaning I use to use IPA + small piece of Shammy Leather. My perfered method now is to play an old tape at X2 speed for 15 minutes or as long as it takes to get a decent picture, though this is not possible on this set "no X2"
I would not fancy using my finger nail incase I cracked the head.
One thing I noticed there is no static earth contact on top center of the Drum as is the case on most later sets.
John.
