I've got to where I can find the button I want by feel.  I have a Heidleberg
brand that came with the '91 Camper.  I don't have any problem with the sound
system.  What I am concered about is how warm/hot a cassette will get after
being played in it.  I'm also concerned with how to clean it.  The manual
just says to use a head cleaning cassette.  I'd rather do a manual clean but
It looks pretty tuff to get at the head.  Any suggestions?
