FS-1 Foot Switch
The generic foot switches we were previously selling have since been discontinued.
Amp-Fix commissioned a local metal fabrication company to make a batch of similar housings and for a retro look had them powder coated in GOLD, bought in some decent switches, cable and jack plugs and assembled them ourselves. Unfortunately we are not able to absorb the costs of doing so, therefore we have to set the price at £36  each.

We have no original Watkins w-e-m footswitches as they are no longer available.

or just need a project board for something else, this is the exact type tag board as used in the early 1960's MK1 & MK2 machines.  Measures 117mm X 37.5mm

Watkins Copicat Replacement Heads

WE RECOMMEND TO FIT REPLACEMENT HEADS AS A COMPLETE SET TO ENSURE CORRECT ALIGNMENT

CTH-1/V

Replacement heads resin encapsulated in brackets for direct fitment to valve Copicat Mk 1 / Mk 2 / Mk 3 Custom Copicat X 4 at £120
The Shadow Copicat with X 3 heads at £90
Individually £30 each.

CTH-3/SS

Will fit Mk3/Mk4 Solid State (Transistor) machines, IC300.
Set of five with Erase head £150
Set of four (excluding the Erase head) £120
Will also directly replace the Super IC 6 head units and the open top brackets
but will require one extra R/P head.
Full set for the 6 head Super IC would be CTH-3/SS X 5. Plus CTH-3/EE X 1. TOTAL £180.  Deduct £30 if the erase head is not required

CTH-3/EE  Erase Head.

New CTH-3/EE Erase head "encapsulated". Priced at £30

CTH-3/E

Replacement erase head with packing spacer,
for fitment to customer's original bracket.   £22.50

If you have a Super IC and wish to retain the look of the open top brackets, I have a limited number of similar cassette type heads that will fit your original brackets and will work perfectly ok. While stocks last @ £19.00 each

IMPORTANT: Super IC five head units use a combination Erase/Record head, i.e. two heads in a single housing, for which we have not been able to source a suitable replacement. The alternative option would be to convert the five head unit to a six head. Doing so would mean fitting one R/P (record head) and a separate erase head. It would not simply be a matter of extending wires, some modification to the oscillator would be required.
I am planning an article on the subject, but am happy to advise in the meantime. You need to email me before ordering parts for the Super IC five head machines. They usually have black control knobs.

CTH-400HK

Kit comprising full set of replacement heads and mounting adaptors for the IC-400    £99.99 per kit  Instructions included.

Click on the image for more details.

CTH4-SS/HK6
