Roger that Jeff.  On one of the 725's I had as a kid, I followed the
service manual literally and tried to clean the head with alcohol soaked
bond paper, just as directed.  Ripped the little pads right off.
Head was toast.

So, I am EXTREMELY careful with the print heads on these things as
they are obviously unobtainium now (unless you get lucky buying a whole
terminal and taking the head from it).
