if they are not OEM heads from new old stock they may not perform as the original. Repro aftermarket stuff unless made to orig specs and materials mite be suspect. Buyer beware.
NOS OEM will be hard to find.
Patience is the keyword.
Or a donor machine.
I have read posts here and there from pro tape users confirming quality of repro aftermarket heads.
What company of the mentioned it was from slipped my mind.

I obtained replacement heads from http://www.magneticheadcompany.com/, talk to Joe Dundovic, a very good guy.
I bought heads for a 2 track Revox PR99. The heads don't look like the original Revox heads that are built "naked" and fit inside metal shields. However replacement heads for Technics, Teac and Pioneer decks are quite close to looks.
I have been more than happy with the Nortronics heads on my PR99. They actually outperform (slightly) a pair of very little used original Revox heads.

Hi,
From Pioneer, no! JRF Magnetics can relap yours if not too far gone or make you replacements which would be equal to if not better than your originals. Expensive though. John French gives superb service.

revox germany has new ones in stock. Very pricy but they are the real genuine stuff.

interesting how anything is available for a PRICE!! Probably more than the whole deck cost new. Anyone here doing head replacement finds good vendor should let the AK mob know. IMO

Most likely. There is a fine line between supply/demand and utter insanity.

FYI: Joe sold all his Nortronic heads to JRF a few years back.
