I made a lot of money in '82-84 time, repairing MANY Beta machines that would come into the shop with broken off loading ring tape quides, sometimes a couple a day, damage caused by wet head "cleaner" tapes! Allsop was one, and Bib was another I remember. Also have seen the wet "cleaner" tapes snag and break off heads on Beta as well as VHS. Which is why we sold only Fuji or Scotch DRY cleaning tapes at the front counter.
