Well, I got enough of the oxide off to see there is definitely a few scores
in the ceramic pad. Since I'm a total neophyte at this, I decided to get
some professional help (related to the disc heads <grin>). I located an
outfit with the following prices:

1) New heads - $135.00 each
2) Replace the pads, check the spring, and test fly - $35.00 each
3) Clean and recontour the head - $20.00 each.

Just to be safe, I'm probably going to go with option two, and at least I'll
be sure the heads I'm putting in aren't going to destroy the platter. Does
anyone know of an outfit that gives better pricing here in the states?
