legitimate head question

[momentfilms]

So,
I'm planning on buying a used DVX100b. Low hours, 3 years of extended warranty, accessories, etc. The guy who owns the camera now has in the past used primarily sony professional tapes. I am now curious, if I have the heads professionally cleaned after I receive the camera (head cleaning is provided once a year in the extended warranty) is it ok to change back to dry lubricant tapes? I would think after a professional cleaning it would be a lot like starting fresh.

Thanks!

Yeah, you'll be fine. A thorough and professional cleaning of all heads removes everything that's built up.
