Abstract
A cassette device for cleaning portions of a video cassette recorder is provided. The cassette device includes a first fluid applicator and a second fluid applicator, the second fluid applicator positioned to wet a portion of tape spaced from the portion wetted by the first applicator. Preferably, the second applicator also acts to position the tape to be spaced from the scanner in one circumferential portion of the scanner. A device is provided for contacting the tape along a defined circumferential portion of the first applicator to assure substantially continuous rotation of the first applicator without direct-driving the first applicator.
