Looks like bad/weak/dirty heads.

If you don't need the infomation then bin it.

Yes I see that I've got problem with Head 0.
Maby there is problem with power suply on commutator -5V ?

yes, the problem can be related to the -5V alimentation, but in 95% of the cases the cause is head/preamp related.
