The manuals warn you to keep things as clean as possible (and certainly
not to smoke :-)), but you don't need a clean room.
To _make_ heads is another matter...

Hmmm.. Certainly the heads can be replaced at
home, but that assumes you
have the right replacements. I think making heads is beyond a home
workshop, but I would love to be proved wrong (and probably will be
sometime -- _never_ underestimate what a hacker can do if he tries...)
Tony,
wouldn't one need a (somewhat :) clean room for such
stuff, and (for heads) optical gear and all that??
