Don't know if this is what you are experiencing, but I had few cases of super-heavy head gunk that was not possible to remove with any "normal" cleaning process. In that case it was caused by playing bad tape with perhaps lose binder. Usually that happened when playing the chewed up section on the rental tape. You don't know if you are going to hit such area, but there the oxide is loose and it will clug your heads in no time at all.Simply using the cleaning cassette would not produce any improvement, so I had to use the swabs directly on the heads.
Needless to say, this is like an open-brain surgery, and should beused as the last resort only.
Before doing something like that, take a good new tape, record and then play. If it works fine - then it is probably your old tapes. If not - probably deep cleaning is in order.
