I thought to start this thread to serve as a resource for those who are brave enough to give relapping a try.
Nortronics has this guide to head wear and relapping:
http://recordist.com/ampex/docs/repairtips/heads/nortronics.pdf
You might want to get a copy on your hard drive.
This thread could serve as a forum for our success and failures.

Also, my tascam 38 has one good head (sync) and an older worn head on playback. I would like to get a new(er) 38 head to put in the sync position and move the current sync to the playback position. This would free up the worn head for relapping.
Just gotta find that newer head at a price I could afford.
Regards, ethan
