Abstract
A cleaning apparatus for the capstan of a VHS-type video cassette player/recorder is disclosed which contains an absorbent pad in a cartridge which is both insertable and removable through one of the broad side walls of the cleaning cassette. A pin projecting from the cartridge and extending through an access hole in the opposite wall permits easy manual ejection of the cartridge when the absorbent pad needs cleaning or replacement.
