I'm looking high and low for 1" 8 track heads for my MX70. So far have checked with JRF, Sprague, Audio Village, Analog Rules, and Otari Japan. This machine has been discussed on this board in the past, was hoping one of you fellow tape lovers would either A) have heads to sell or B) have some hot tips on who/where else I might look.
Additionally, I'm curious about head-compatibility amongst Otari machines. Most of the the MX7300s (and their variants) that I've seen have been 1" 8 tracks. And universally, people don't seem to like them much! "Problematic" is often the word thrown around. So I had the thought: If I were to find one, or heads from one, would they be compatible with my MX70?
