Richard,
No I absolutely believe you. You tape R2R guys have forgotten more about this medium than I will probably ever know. I'm never going to get the opportunity to spend time in an analog studio and hang out with sound engineers etc. It just blows my mind that this has been done so much in the past and I missed reading anything about it. Plus I was born & raised in MO so it really is a "Show me" issue.;-)
The tech who is restoring my Tandberg 9242XD, said the heads were about 15-20% worn. There was a guy briefly on ebay who claimed to have bought a huge existing, OEM Tandberg part's stock somewhere. He was trying to justify some quotient about prices then and prices now. I never really got solid answers because he was phishing to see how much I would be willing to pay. He's playing with the wrong partner, because I don't have the discretionary income to play 'dueling dollars'. I may look up my heads by part# and just ask if he has them and HOW much, period.
