Status Recording Device: CLEANED

SO the 8-track has been cleaned. I took all the screws out, opened it up, and I looked inside of it like a first-year med student performing an autopsy. Using the damp cloth technique, I wiped down the outside AND the inside of my little Tascam beauty. I've got to admit, I didn't do a very good job; there's still some brown crust on it that I couldn't scrape off.
When I head home today I'm going to plug it in and see if anything works. If it doesn't, I'm going to consider buying myself a new goddamn recorder, with my landlord's money! Fuck yeah! If it does, I'm gonna buy some tape head cleaner from Radio Cock and wipe its ass with it. We can't have any dingleberries on the recording mechanism, can we?
