Started to widen? We used to joke about heads being worn down to the windings, but these appear to run that pretty close. The gaps are about 1mm, where they were originally 10uM or so. A degausser should give some output, agreed, but the extinction frequency for that gap length must be in the tens of Hz at best.
It makes you wonder how/why anyone would have run the machine until it reached that state. You'd think it would have been given up as a bad job long before it got to that.
