This MHC site was created 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.  Because of stock liquidation, Joe acquired a huge inventory of NORTRONICS tape heads which is now sitting on shelves at JRF MAGNETICS ready for immediate shipment. Whatever are your needs, for one head or many, contact John French via email at  <jrf@jrfmagnetics.com>.    He will be glad to consult with you and find an item you can use from his stock of over 56,000 heads suitable for use on magnetic tape and many other magnetic data applications.. All heads are fully guaranteed to function satisfactorily or they may be returned for replacement or full credit.
