Head changes on a Revox PR99
Hi all, I'm looking for a little advice please. I need to change the heads on my PR99. I have a spare headblock and resurfaced replacement heads. Looking at the SM it does not give any instructions on how to change the heads, only to return the machine to a Revox Service agent.
Looking at the drawings and the headblock (it has worn heads in place) it looks a simple matter of unscrewing the old heads and screens and then just replacing the new heads in reverse order. Obviously they need to be unsoldered/soldered but other than that are there any major pitfalls I should be aware of?
I've done this previously on a Teac 3440 which was pretty straight forward but never on a Revox. Any tips and/or pointers would be very gratefully received.
