Since July 1, 2021, new sales tax regulations apply to web shops across the EU. Unfortunately, this change forces us to make some changes to our shop system. For customers outside the EU, net prices continue to apply. EU customers with a VAT ID number can also continue to make net purchases. All other customers based in the EU now have to pay the net plus the VAT rate applicable in your country. In order to make this safe from legal warnings, it was necessary to hide the prices until a customer is logged in. By registering and logging in, the sales tax applicable to the customer in his place of residence is automatically added. The delivery address is decisive for this. Thanks for understanding!

Description

Offered is an original Studer headblock for the 2-inch / 24-track configuration, suitable for Studer A820 and A827. This is a complete, unmodified head assembly with three Studer head groups (Erase, Record, Replay), mounted on the original aluminum carrier.

The unit originates from a professional studio environment and has been stored for many years in a dry and dust-protected condition. The headblock shows no mechanical damage, no corrosion, and no interventions in mounting or wiring areas. The tape heads are visually in exceptionally good condition: no visible wear track, no groove formation, no polishing marks. The gap edges are clean and free from damage – visually almost like new. This corresponds to the seller's description as NOS (New Old Stock – unused). It is very likely that they have indeed never been in operation.

Due to the absence of a machine, no electrical function test could be carried out. However, the assembly is mechanically complete, original, and unchanged. By design, headblocks are passive assemblies; with undamaged heads and intact wiring, no functional defect is to be expected.

The unit is complete, unchanged and professionally stored. No visible wear marks on the tape heads, no polishing surfaces, no groove formation. The gap edges are clean, sharp and without damage – visually almost like unused. Mechanically complete, wiring intact, structure untreated and free from intervention. Due to the passive design of such headblocks, no relevant technical defect is to be expected in this condition. Only the electrolytic capacitors on the rear connector plate may have dried out due to long-term storage. We can offer a replacement at low cost.
