Hi

I need to find a donor for heads for this model, but it's hard to find.

Can anyone say if there's another compatible models?

Thanks

This is what I have documented for head donor on Hitachi

Hitachi
Same model number and same MLC number are required to be a donor head;


Hope that helps your search

That's not exactly right.

He's asking if there's a different model, one that is readily available, from which the heads will be compatible.

Yes I'd realised that after I had posted it.

Yes, that's what I meant.

If any other model can work. If anyone already had this experience.

Thanks

721010SLA360 i already performed with a SLA380.
funny thing: after swap, the drive was recognized with model: xxxxxxxSLA380,
it means the head stack gives input to the pcb!
