Some opinion would be great.

I work with hard drive repair. I have literally thousands of drives which will be destroyed once I hand them back. As I'm allowed to use all parts I was thinking of repairing heads by means of replacement. Hundreds of heads and preamps are still good.

My repair service also goes with a one year guarantee. Will this end up being a big headache, or could it be done reliably? Last thing I want is for all of them to come back.

Of course this will all be done properly in a clean room with the proper tools.

Desperate data recoverers may check me on scarce parts. No greed here.

Considering what you would invest for that and the number of drives that would be returned back to you, if I was you, I wouldn't do that and would go the relax drinking a beer in the beach that would be much better

I know you have good beer and beaches of course.

I was thinking that just swopping head stacks in a carefully controlled environment would make the odds pretty good.

Yes, you can do that, but that would give you a lot of work to do, but the question is: how much are you going to receive for the drives you sell?
Does it compensate?

I did not really mean business. My work is sufficient for me, I can take care of my family. I will accept to help though
