Well, after all that it's definitely the head! I know, we told you so, but wiring in the head got rid of the hum and holding the head against the tape worked a treat, sound back in all its glory! Thanks to all who've helped with this.
All I need to do now is find a suitable head or I could I suppose at a push use this head after removing the old one from its mounting plate - I think its held on with two small screws, but it is a bit worn, very worn in fact! It looks to be a full track head as the gap is placed centrally but I guess there may be enough azimuth adjustment to position the head in the right place - hopefully!
