Default Re: Bulk erase mini DV tapes?

Another thing, as I understand it, the official bulk erasers contain what is basically a transformer. They get hot as the output (electrical) isn't going anywhere. The more expensive ones contain some sort of thermal cut-out, if they get too hot, they stop working, and you need to let them cool down. If you've got something with a big transformer in, try that. Might do the job in a few seconds, each side.
