At that cost... you'd be better off getting your camera repaired.  With 
new heads you'd have some life left in it, and it gives you a spare 
camera thats able to play your heritage tapes without dubbing and the 
cost in time and tape.

By the way, Sam's Club has a 6-pack of Maxell Mini-DV's for $19 and 
some change.
