There was some discussion on using head from IBM 3480/3490? to read 7 tracks. Couldn't find what I remembered online and not cheap to acquire.
If that goes anywhere, we have spare 3480 heads at LSSM, we can probably make one available.
I did recently pick up a 7 track head but its in bad shape so not sure if it is usable.
There's a company that specializes in re-lapping tape heads. I don't recall their name offhand, but they do exist. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
