Tape Tech / remove erase head?
« on: February 01, 2010, 03:14:30 PM »
hi -
I have an A80, Sony APR 5003 and a couple of Tascam BR20's.
I don't record and wonder what the issues are around removing heads?
I'd guess tape tension would need to be adjusted say if the erase head was removed but what else could happen or would need to be done to keep the tape path stable?
I've seen mention of ferrite dummy heads on this site but wouldn't no head be a better solution if possible?
thanks
