Tape heads model reference

[frpe12]

Hi all,

I'm looking for new playback and record tape heads for my 4 tracks TS1000 without auto reverse.
Do you know the original model references or compatible ?

Thanks

You’ll need a lot of luck to get hold of new 4-track heads.
Every now and then, heads in mint condition are put up for sale. I’m not aware of any compatible heads.
I can imagine it might be possible to find heads with the same or similar electrical characteristics.
It will come down to the mounting.

Ok.
The main issue is to identify the heads characteristics to find some equivalence.
Do you know what are the spécifications of the TS1000 heads ?

Kind regards

I can measure one of my old ones tomorrow
