Magnetic Head Company

This MHS site is operated by Joe Dundovic, one of the founders and a vice president of the NORTRONICS COMPANY, a major manufacturer of magnetic tape heads from 1956 to 1996. Joe has acquired a huge stock of NORTRONICS tape heads which are sitting on shelves ready for immediate shipment. Whatever are your needs, for one head or many, contact Joe via email at jodun@magneticheadcompany.com He will be glad to consult with you and find an item you can use from his stock of over 56,000 heads of 128 types and 1073 varieties, suitable for use on magnetic tape and credit card readers. All heads are fully guaranteed to function satisfactorily or they may be returned for replacement or full credit.

HEADS AVAILABLE: There are so many kinds we can only show basic information. No matter what head size or track configuration we probably have it.
