The cutting head starts at $1.
Hi!
I have a copy of a German head to offer [we know which one]. I'm not mentioning the name on purpose because we've determined it's a clone, a copy of the original. This clone head was repaired by us and rebuilt to working condition.
The drive coil bodies were rewired, re-wound, and the feedback coils were renewed, and it's functional.
The head has a double suspension [similar to the original] on which the aluminum alloy drive coil body is suspended. Four, six, four, or seven ohms. These are approximate values, as each of my resistance bridges gives a slightly rounded last digit. The DC resistance of the fb coils is approximately 90 ohms. The magnetic system uses neodymium magnets, and the head has a wlod for cooling the drive coils. The head has spring terminals for the heating wire. We're starting at $1, but anyone can bid higher. The final price for the head will be a deposit into the TSSOLT account, a troll website. Please submit your price offers publicly.

Please submit your price offers by August 1, 2025, 12 noon Central European Time. I will send the warhead at my own expense to any place on Earth [but not to the International Space Station, as it would cost millions of dollars]. I will send the warhead after payment to the TSSOLT account when I receive confirmation from the owners of this website that the required amount has been transferred to their account.
I bought it a while ago for half a hundred from an elderly woman, it was damaged, but it's now functional and ready to cut!

It's a pity you can't buy it from you on eBay(((( I would have offered it normally.

I don't want to fund eBay [I don't even have an account there] I want to fund TSSOLT, let the guests have something from life!
[IN THE MARGINAL MY PHILOSOPHICAL REASON
I'll answer you this way. When I buy a new car, I need to see it with my own eyes and see if it suits me. If it's a new car, the seller is obligated to let me test drive it. If I think it's OK, I'll buy it. If it's a used car, I suggest the seller take it to a diagnostic station because I want a professional diagnostician to run the car through the computer and thoroughly check its worn components. If I decide the errors are acceptable and can have them corrected at the service center for a reasonable price, I'll buy that car too.The problem with me is that I have a luxury car, a Mercedes S-Class [it's not new anymore], when I think it's time for a change and I go to a car showroom of another brand with new cars, I decide to test drive it with the salesman, [my car has a hydraulic-air suspension and the engine has a power of several hundred horsepower [by the way], the value of my old car, a Mercedes Benz S-Class, is an average of fifteen thousand dollars, a new car of another brand costs 50-70 thousand dollars, after the test drive in such a new Chinese car, I get out of the new one and get into my old Mercedes Benz BITURBO, I start the V8 turbines and shake the dust off my tires, burning rubber for 200 meters in the showroom and I know for sure that nothing will break.]

I know this head. I had one, it's a Polish JNP. I sold it to a friend some time ago. But then I wanted to buy it back from him for testing and experiments. I know that it's a bad fake and it doesn't write well. I have 8 mono heads for recording custom records, 6 of them are excellent and one stereo Ortofon DSS731. I'm just from another country and I don't buy them myself. For me, a middleman buys from other countries. The middleman can only buy from eBay.
This Joanna head is simply beautifully made, but it writes very poorly. I want to use it as a dummy and for test embossing on films. It really is not good for anything else compared to real factory stereo heads.

Here are my videos with my JNP branded Neumann SX74 copy.

Yes, I've figured it out. So if anyone has the right equipment [preferably German or Danish] to power it properly and test it, I recommend it. If anything goes wrong, I'll refund the money. I ordered a different mount for it, as the one I'm using is 18mm in diameter, and my setup has a 20mm input socket. Once I receive the pin, I'll screw it onto the head and test its operation. I'll post a video of the recording time. I don't know how to write it, I have no idea. I'm just afraid to turn on the feedback circuit because my experiments with my closed-loop heads often ended with the drive coils blowing into fine dust, along with burning out the power amplifier. This head needs very fast electronic protection against excitation, because otherwise the drive coils will burn alive and the fuses won't have time to blow. I've tested this issue in various ways.
It's a terribly stupid translation, but I can't help it...This clone head has an 18mm handle, but I'm waiting for a 20mm handle because I have a 20mm socket.

[Podorvanov]

If you manage to make a video, it will be very interesting to see how your copy of Neumann works and what quality it records with. We will wait for the video if you manage to make it.

This pseudo clone head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BG8Y26mu_k sounds worse than my first heads that I made from speakershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GXAlO4SilA , a disaster, distortion, lack of high tones, you can hear that it is of poor quality.There is a dynamic range compressor in the camera, hence the noise amplification, etc., but... it's a poor art...

Very generous of you to offer Zdenek, even with the limitations you describe. I'll open the bid at the $50 you paid for it originally

[zdenek]

Okay. I also bought it blindly, but now I don't regret it. It gave me a lot of satisfaction, so I'm waiting for more people to be interested. The head will go to the richest wallet.

[Estrada]

I know it is likely not very good but I'm also very curious. I'll take the bidding up to $75

[EposLab]

Me to $100

What happened is what I expected, as I mentioned, that it's very easy to damage this head. That's why I've been keeping quiet and not writing anything lately...
The head's service technician warned me that my 4x600Watt amplifiers are deadly to the heads and speakers in general because when the amplifier is turned off, the capacitors that store energy slowly discharge, sending a DC voltage with a very high current and energy potential to the transistors, which is dangerous for the coils! So the head's service technician warned me that I MUST FIRST TURN OFF THE HEAD, DISCONNECT FROM THE AMPLIFIER, AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE AMPLIFIER. As usual, I was in a hurry to record another song for YouTube. I did the opposite, I connected the head to the amplifier's output, then turned on the amplifier, and immediately after a few seconds, I smelled the stench. So I recorded the video but not the music and this is what it looks like: there are no 5 ohms per channel but there are less than 2 ohms per channel. The repair is very expensive and I will not repair it. Please reconsider your decision to offer too much, the head is in the trash. video head cutter multimetre ohms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXXkNB2sbn0

Yep that’s cooked!

I’ll restart the bidding at $50 and I’ll turn it into a dummy load for setting up feedback systems

Thanks Estrada , because you were generous and not afraid to take a risk, please transfer $20 to the CONTRIBUTE account as a donation to TSSOLT with the note "for the head copy of SX...zdenec" and give me your shipping address. Thanks everyone for taking part in my offer.

[Estrada]

Thanks, I will do that. But don’t you mean transfer $150?
