ANYWAY WHICH # DO I READ TO IDENTIFY THE HEADS.(WHERE IS IT) AD CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO IDENTIFY THEM? THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE WORTH HAVING WORKED OVER OR NOT. THANKS FOR ANY HELP

there wil be a 6-8 digit long code beginning with 37 or 38 or 39, get that and get the date code- a group of 3-4 digits beginning with A-L letter
post it all here and/or look them up at nastyz28.com or mertec or google.com search engine, type the number in directly into search word line
