The tape heads look to be in excellent condition. They were manufactured by Michigan Magnetics, who are still in business. Their web site claims that they make two and four track tape heads, so I imagine that comparable products may be had. I also imagine that their head technology has advanced since then. There are no descriptions or prices on their web site. It says that you have to contact "sales" to for product information and data sheets.

Nice documentation Frank. Was there any sign of wear on the heads? Would finding a replacement head be a problem or is there an off the shelf

generic replacement available that would work?
