Re: Tape Head Open Circuit
Hi Pete
I have done this as a test but this is a far from an ideal solution as the record head has different characteristics/impedance and it would need complicated switching to work in both record and playback modes which is not really practical on this compact model. Also the advantage of off-tape monitoring whilst recording would be lost. Failing finding the correct replacement it is more likely that a similar sized head from a different machine could be pressed into service with some mechanical modifications. I will explore this option if all else fails.
Thank you for your input....kind regards
Paul
