Maxell VP-200. Never had a problem with any head cleaner except the stupid Maxell tapes that do the audio channel test, etc. Those never work for me.

The wet-type (Allsop, Bib) no good. Seen too many broken heads and little strands of the cleaning material left bebind on the remnants of the heads. Or at the least they will pick up some tape oxide contamination then ring it out at the pinch roller leaving deposits on the capstan that can be really difficult to properly clean off.

Dry cleaner tapes like Scotch, Fuji OK, never seen one damage heads. We used to sell those at the front counter. All they are really good for is maybe unclogging the cylinder heads anyway. They do little to nothing to guides rollers and stationary heads.

It's not a purchase, but I recently found several Star Trek episodes from the old mail order collection. I don't currently have a working VCR though.

[Dude111]

Ah man...... We gotta fix that problem for ya slatton

[slatton86]

I'm working on it. I have an Omnivision I'm trying to get going, and if I find a mostly free S-VHS I'll pick it up. I get a lot from my dump, which I don't understand because most people around here know that I will give at least a $1 for any broken stuff they bring by.
