[QuadList] VTR drum refurb

[Chill315 at aol.com]

I assume that you are talking about Ampex VPR models.  Their have been  
some heads that appear on eBay every now and then.  Each machine will do  the 
job.  The VPR-6 is a later model and thus will have incorporated a  number of 
improvements.

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
