Probably impossible to make any judgement as photo not close enough but any thoughts on the heads condition in the attached TK 830 photo.
I thought I saw a close-up of your 830 heads earlier in the thread and they didn't look too bad at all. The giveaway is when you can see the colour of the potting compound in the gap area (red in the case of the 819). If my reading of that machine is correct, the heads are unlikely to give much output at all, as the gap is now very large.
