But then you also have the TK50 in a separate box with it's own power supply, and the cable between the machine and the TK50 is a thick cable with DB37 at each end (hmm, come to think of it, it's probably not a DB37, the connector is higher than a DB). Remove the top rear (3 screws). Then you'll see the head, and a plastic piece in front of the head. Remove that plastic piece (1 screw). Unhook the catcher and back out the tape lead so that you get access to the head. Clean it with something suitable. Reverse for assembly.
