Incorrect Ampex head information.

[Don Norwood]

Hi Larry:

Thanks for correcting the details of what I had posted.  I should know better than to rely on memory, but the thrust of the post was to answer the question of how to identify the heads by appearance, and connectors are the foolproof way.  Since nobody had explained that, I rushed to answer before thinking adequately.  I agree that the posts should be accurate, and have sometimes complained about that myself.  Fortunately, the list’s collective knowledge usually comes thru as you did in this case.  I’ll try to be more careful!!!

The preceeding head ID information is 90 percent wrong. 

Mark 10 Transistor preamp uses a DB-25 M connector. 

Mark 10 Nuvistor preamp uses a blue ribbon bottom connector and a winchester side connector. 

Mark 15 uses a 16 pin Blue ribbon connector for the motor,etc and a DB 25 M connector for the signal

Mark XX head uses all DB connectors.

Get it right.
