And three heads are better than two if you're aligning tape recorders.

Had a cheap 3-1/4" tape recorder as a kid. It had a permanent magnet as the erase head!

Later, I had a Pioneer, descendant cassette deck. Included schematic. I even attempted to do a half-speed dub from vinyl to tape; worked, but I guess equalization screwed things up.

But, on the schematic was a HF oscillator. That's when it dawned on me, the erase head was actually a record head, but erased by obliterating prerecorded material with High Frequency (HF), maybe 40+ kHz!
