It seems that for different machines there is a different expert. I found that out when servicing the Otari and Studer decks in our studio last year when working on the LP my band was recording.
Teacs and Tascams are usually fairly easy to service out. IME, its rare to see a bad head, most of the issues relate to the transport, usually from sitting around. After a while, some of the levers get gummed up and won't move when its solenoid tries to engage it.
