I hear you. Since virtually all tape decks are decades old, you're better off treating them with kindness and respect. By "exercising" I don't mean going crazy with fast-forward and rewind, or even spending much time (and head wear) in the process. Speaking of head wear, I'm fortunate in my Otari's ease of replacing the headstack and, more important, the fact that minimum-wear headstacks are still freely and FAIRLY inexpensively available on eBay. Which is why I have three of them, none of which is even close to needing a relap :-)
