Initially, anyone know how to get the top drum off, I don't want to heat
up to separate interference fit , if there is some secret fixing.
Then anyone happen to know if video heads are the same, they look the same
via what little I can see of them.



BTW, if you remove the head or move anything else, you will need to realign
the tape path, and you won't be able to do that properly without an
alignment tape.

Ideally you also need a tension tape to measure and adjust back tension.

I can't make things worse. Smashed up heads, probably from foam breaking
up / snagging on the silly "head-dirtier" arm


nice.

just curious, who even sells DAT heads, let alone in 2013?
