Only for the brave. Many a VHS I have rescued by using alcohol on my fingertip and rubbing gently and vertically across the head gap. It may take several tries. Make sure the drum is dry before you spin it up with a tape. This is usually done after the Q-tip attempt.
In my 2" quad days we did the same fingertip trick on the spinning head using liquid Freon out of a gallon container. If it was bad, you would use your fingernail against the spinning heads. Anyone remember this? Al Gore is looking for me.
