Hay Shai, 
 
A good source for 1" Ampex parts is Roman at  www.equipmentcenterwest.com . 
I know he has a lot of used cards and some heads. 
 
Good luck.

Subject: [QuadList] VTR drum refurb

Please excuse cross posting.
For a project I'm involved in we are trying to revive some old VTRs that have been sitting in storage. No one knows for sure actual working condition, but  the tech says they were shelved working but with worn out head drums. Does anyone know of a source for NOS heads or a company that can refurbish the heads in these VTRs? I have already contacted Videomagnetics, but I wonder if there are other options?
Also, given a choice what would be a better VTR to revive the PR-6 or the PR-2b? We got 3 of each?
Does anyone have thoughts about the bu-950? Should we use it with an external TBC or is the one in it good by today's standards?
Cheers
Shai
