As Doomer says, you can't buy them seperately. You have to remove them from a compatible "donor" drive.

That's right; in fact, you may sometimes need to use some information from the rest of the drive (i.e., the electronic board) to make the new headstack work properly.

I have a few thousand...willing to pitch in the rest of the drive for free. The heads sell anywhere between $50 and $500.
