Thank Richard, 

I take it that you company do not use these model 3599 cleaning machine?  
Back int the "old days" we had a cleaning machine for the old "round wheels" 
tape. But since the cartridge came out, there wasn't a cleaning maching then. 
I was hoping to get information from other if they do use a cleaning machine 
for their cartridge and is it worth it or if not, why?
