He used to service 3M machines or know someone who still has some parts. i****ibbonmics.com might get you there. -- For a good time, visit http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com thank you very much. is that wes dooley's email? |

As far as I know, nobody is making them any longer, although John French may be able to graft some replacement heads onto that machine. The guy to talk to is French, really, he is very much the clearing house for anyone with heads for sale or anyone buying heads. Another place is Allen Sound, which bought out most of the Mincom parts from the company that bought them out when 3M shut down production of those machines. 8-track 1" heads might be easier to find than 16-track or 24-track sets, if you're not particular about format. I suspect it might be possible to graft the Flux MM24 heads into that machine with some shop work, though you're still talking $6000 before you even start. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
