Can I ask roughly after how many hours use is there zilch, and what is that gadget you are using, and where can one be obtained ?Originally Posted by 337alant

Yes that’s the one and the DeMag I use, the indicator is a Gauss meter.
They have gone up quite a bit since I bought mine but they are excellent
There is no straight answer to how many hours I'm afraid ?.
The last I noticed some magnetism on my Studer was after removing the head block to adjust the capstan roller pressure. Whilst I had the block out I thoroughly cleaned and polished the heads when I put it back together I noticed a little magnetism but it could have been caused by a little carless use of the Allen keys to remove the head block and adjust the Capstan roller solenoid.
Anyway after a demag - Ziltch

Thanks for that, believe it or not but I already have a demagnetizer, so it would be just the magnetometer I would be after.
