Revox question

[microx]

Can anyone tell me if the head covers of the PR99 and B77 models are interchangeable. I need one for a PR99 and one for a B77 is on e-bay.

I have a B77, I also have a PR99 manual. Checking them both it sure looks the same to me. The PR99 uses the same type heads as an A77, B77 going by my manual.
The cover is in two parts of course, inner and outer.

Sorry guys, didn't explain myself too well. I am talking about the plate which covers all the heads and the capstan which clips into place over the top of the heads and has the word "REVOX" on it. I could make one but it will look a bit ....

These?

It seems like the PR99 is a B77 with balanced interfacing:

I must admit I wondered if you meant that.

I'm sure the headblock is the same size therefore the plate mount pins are in the same place, I'll check tomorrow.

The head block cover in my PR99 manual looks to be exactly the same as the B77 cover.
