Sony SL-C6 Betamax - Changing the head disc and something else! 

This one is an odd one! It's also a little bit different insofar as we're changing the heads on the Sony SL-C6. Quite a lot of wear on the old heads although they aren't damaged despite me thinking there was a small portion missing on the one edge of one of the chips. No, they are just worn! Bit of a sudden twist at the end though and sorry i don't go into more depth but it ended up being very last minute! I have heard mention of an upper drum alignment tool but I'm not aware of it and can't find any reference to one - let me know in the comments if you do know otherwise. 😊
just to confirm - the C6 only need the one outer magnet but leaving the inner one installed is fine.
