Just want to add that there's a Ferrograph Series 7 thread on tapeheads.net that has a photo of the early model head block. The mounting holes have a very similar arrangement.

Thank you Sue. I got your PM that's a lot less than I thought it would be. I will drag it out over the next day or two and measure the head block and see if it will fit.

Many thanks for your help with this much appreciated.

Hi Dave, there’s a Series 7 playback head on eBay right now. I probably cannot post a link here but here’s the picture and it appears to have the right number. Edit: just noticed it does not have suffix ‘z’ on its number so not so sure it’s compatible?
