how does a cassette demagnetizer work?
Susan J asked:
Bought online a Maxell cassette demagnetizer. There is a red plastic strip covering the head of the cassette. Nowhere in the instructions does it say to remove this red plastic strip. A little red light is suppposed to light up when inserted in the cassette deck. This did not happen. Should this red plastic strip be removed?

There’s usually a plastic tape over the demagnetizing part to protect the tape head and it’s not removed.
When you push on that part, the light should come on. If it doesn’t, the battery inside may be dead or the demagnetizer may be defective.
Might be a dead battery… My guess is that many accessories for cassette decks have been sitting on the store shelf a long, long time.
