It's for an Otari MX5050. Basically just wanna know (if it's possible to tell from this pretty bad photo) whether the heads are shot or not. I don't see any dark vertical lines in the centre of the heads, but they don't look totally right to me. May just be reflections in the metal, hard to tell from here.

Send them to JRF Magnetics http://jrfmagnetics.com/ for a head report. It's the only true way to know.

Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.
