I have had a TRC975 for quite some time now and besides cosmetics, everything works aside from the corroded tape heads on both decks due to storage in less than ideal humidity by the prior owner which also caused the aforementioned cosmetic tarnishing of most of the chroming.
I was told by a local electronics repair shop that specializes in classic audio that the tape heads in this box were toast and were proprietary making replacement the only option if I were to find the obscure part.
Is this true? Would any of you guys be able to shed some light on where to find a replacement or substitute if one exists?
