I have just been looking at the Polish spares site 'IMPEL' and was impressed by their range of video heads. After asking them, they say all heads are genuine and to see heads at under £10 is good indeed. Has anybody here used them?

I have placed an order and will report back what happens.

I used them about 18 months ago to get a Panasonic output IC(can't remember the type no. now) They were very good-the first one arrived with one of it's pins fractured, and they sent a replacement F O C and told me not to worry about returning the faulty one.

The heads arrived. Perfect service with genuine heads well packed in a tough box. Discount applied on the already low price too - my sort of supplier!

I have enough heads now to last for over 100 years if I watch and record 2 hours per day

.

Now to sort out Beta head suppliers.
