Thanks to a pointer from Doug Q. I now have a brand new
Cipher 7 track head assembly. I had thought this was
just going to be the head, but it is the whole tape
path, with a date code of Jan, 1976.
Does anyone have a mid-70's Cipher 9 track that I could
get to attach this to?
My original thought was to put what I thought was just
the head onto a 9 track transport, but since this is
already aligned, it would be MUCH better to put it
onto the drive it was designed for.
I will be on the road for the next few weeks, so if
you have one and are near SLC, Denver, St Louis, Dayton,
Chicago, or Buffalo, I could pick it up.
