Allsop "3 in 1" Audio Cassette Tape Deck Cleaning System.


N.O.S./Legacy Allsop cleaner as pictured is suitable for car, portable "boom box", home and 'Walkman' type cassette tape mechanisms. Includes 30ml cleaning fluid. Case color may vary. Thee industry standard. You can request case color. If available, we will ship that color. If not, we will pick a random color. Color requests are 1st come 1st served and not guaranteed.

Made in Ireland! Date Unknown. Liquid still in bottle.  


Note: Very rare, very high end decks  (confirmed on Nakamichi BX 300 - possibly Tascam 112 mkii ) won't play this long enough to clean as they may have an infrared sensor to detect that the tape is taught and so will shut down.  If your deck has an electronic "eye" please advise make/model so we can post it here and do not buy this product.

A rare cassette cleaner
This type of product is becoming extremely hard to obtain in Europe. Many people still have irreplaceable music cassettes they wish to hear now and again. My Panasonic cassette player was original equipment in my 1974 Rolls-Royce and is still working well. But getting to the tape heads to clean them is the very devil. This product is perfect for this purpose as far as I am concerned. Let's hope it too is not phased out in time!

Super allsop
My order was delivered prompt and used the day it arrived. It was superb - as I the one I had in the 70's. Now - when I the last 10 years have started to collect cassettes from the 70's/80's I also digitalize them. That has caused the cassette-player to sound quite toneless in the last after more than 2000 cassettes has been played through. Luckily I found Allsop cassette cleaner kit after a search on the net, the cassette player sounds clear.

Allsop Cassette Cleaning tape
I'm glad to see that these cleaning tapes are still on the market. Back in the 80s, I used to work in retail stereo equipment, and we sold and recommended these kits then. This kit is by far more complete than what was available back then, as it contains replacement pads for the cassette. In the old days, you just threw them out when the pads got worn out! They are still the best way for a consumer to keep the mechanism clean in their cassette deck. I still highly recommend this product!

Allsop Cassette Cleaner
Long story short. Bought a sweet 1990 Celica w/cassette deck. Couldn't find a cleaner anywhere. Ordered this with req. shipping and it arrived in 3 days! Next day deck quit. Never opened package. Fixed power antenna and deck starts working:) Used cleaner and got a ton of gunk off head/capstan. Kit has replacement felts, etc for long term use and plenty of fluid to boot. If you need a cleaner, this one works. Not to be compared with the "dry" type. Just not the same.

Allsop Cassette Deck Cleaner
I ordered this item because my last cleaner was worn out. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a winner. I am sure it will do the job just as good if not better than my old one. It was easy to order, the cost was better than expected and it came quickly.

Alsop tape head cleaner
Great to find this kit. I used it on my shelf system with a drawer style cassette so can't get at the heads .After use the pinch roller pad came out black ! Nice thing is you can remove the pads and wash them . Now my kitchen deck is working fine and sounding good .

Works great
Does what it says on the box - I managed to get a surprising amount of gunk off the tape heads in my car which were previously unreachable. Plus it comes with extra cleaner and cleaning heads to make it last longer. If you don't mind paying a bit more this is pretty much the best tape deck cleaner you can get.

Works great, much better than the cheaper short strip versions i have used in the past. I purchased it to use in a 88 celica gt-r i recently purchased, but i plan on using this on my old magnavox boom box with double tape deck, as well.

I've used this item in the past, and it's too bad that Allsop doesn't make it anymore. Very happy to find it at T&N; they got it to me quickly, and it worked like a charm.

So glad to be able to find this again! Have used Allsop for many years, and still use cassettes to make copies of my vinyl, to listen in the car and at work, so care of cassette players is crucial. With this, I can continue to listen for many more years! Thanks!

Best Head Cleaner
After searching eBay for a decent used one of these, I was lucky to find it here at TurntableNeedles.com. Received it and it works perfectly. Identical to the one I had 20+ years ago. A little tip* When the pads get too dirty to use, remove the cotton pads, turn them around and get double the life out of them.

Clever Tool
These do a very nice job cleaning both the primary tape head and capstans/pinch rollers. I wish the refill pads were still available because the once the pads have done their job a few times they can be pretty dirty and need to be replaced. Alsop used to sell refill packs for that. Regardless, this little cleaning cassette works wonders, so I bought several!

A Great Relic of The Past
By now, you've likely read rave reviews about the Allsop Cassette Tape Deck Head Cleaner. I've used many cleaners in cassette form and this one is the best, if not one of the best. While hardcore cassette audiophiles may prefer to use cotton swabs dipped in 91% (or higher) percent isopropyl alcohol to manually clean the tape path (heads, guides, capstans and pinch rollers) this isn't always practical in tight spaces, such as car cassette players or front tray-loading style cassette decks. This is where the Allsop cleaner is indispensable because its internal gear enables the head-cleaning felt pad to mimic the gentle horizontal motion of manual cleaning. The felt pads for the capstans and pinch rollers use the same alcohol-based solution. This means that if you run out of cleaning fluid, you can substitute it with widely available 91% isoproply alcohol. Some users may worry about using this alcohol on the pads to clean their decks' pinch rollers. But in my considerable experience of using more decks than I can remember, none of my decks' pinch rollers have ever been harmed. The great thing about the pads is that you can replace them with NOS refill cartridges, that are fairly easy to find on-line. For cleaning the tape path of units with unreachable transports Allsop Cassette Tape Deck Head Cleaner is my first choice.
