ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cleaning electromagnetic tape wound onto dual reels of a tape cartridge is disclosed. A housing is provided having a pair of spindles rotatably supported thereon for receiving respective reels of a tape cartridge. A drive mechanism is drivingly connected to one of the spindles for causing the tape to be transferred from one reel to the other. A first absorbent pad is supported on the housing for wiping engagement with one side of the tape and a cleaner post carrier is supported on the housing for movement between a cleaning position adjacent the first pad and a loading position spaced from the first pad. The cleaner post has opposite first and second cleaner surfaces and is removably and reversably mounted on the carrier such that one surface faces the first pad. A cleaning fluid reservoir is mounted on the housing and in communication with at least the first pad.
