Hi All.
Can anyone tell me which Ferrograph machine this head will fit, it's marked BR16z.

Bob955i · 2nd Jul 2011, 9:47 am

Series 7 - models 702 and 722 1/2 track stereo.

DOFFERY · 2nd Jul 2011, 1:13 pm

Further to the above the BR 16z, only the later versions, original versions used the FR 16z

The BR16 z is also fitted to the Super 7 7522 & 7502.

I forgot that the early Series 7 used the same heads (blue FPxx?) as first fitted to the Series 6 and that reportedly didn't wear too well. I have a 632 with blue heads and a Y632 with black heads (yeah, I know...).

Thanks folks, got a few new ones I need to sell.

Just a thought, do they fit the logic deck as well.

Bob955i · 2nd Jul 2011, 9:46 pm

Yes, according to the service manual.

Although I'm more familiar with the pre-Series 7 Ferrographs, I believe that the timeline was: Series 7, Logic 7 then Super 7.

Perhaps Doffery can confirm?

Can confirm Bob, same for logic .

OK what about BP 16z are they the same.

DOFFERY · 5th Jul 2011, 8:42 am

Yes, BP 16z also used on the logic.
