If the cassette tape head is worn out, it is possible to replace it

with another cassette tape head. Azimuth alignment is very critical

but it can be done with a screwdriver and a scope.



A minidisk recorder is designed to record compressed digital audio.

I cannot see why you even mention it.



A Hi-8 tape head, the one found in a Hi-8 camcorder or VCR together

with all the electronics that go with it CAN be used: 

Do the baseband video mod to your PXL, then record video on a Hi-8

cassette in a Hi-8 VCR or camcorder. 



Good luck.
