[sdiy] OT : parts for analog tape recorders

[jbv]

Hi again,

During the last 12 months I went to some
local yard sales and found a few analog
tape recorders for a bargain ( 5 to 20 euros
each).
Some are like new (no kidding), but some
need some servicing, like heads replacement
and/or calibration.

Where could I find heads and calibration tape
for such gear, like AKAI 4000 DS MK-II and
AKAI GX-215D ?
Of course, I'd prefer to get it from a source
within the EEC...

Thanks in advance (again).
JB
