Typically a Rebuild is more than just the head, I would go through the head and replace the standard wear parts, including:

• Tape wheels or more commonly known as “teeth”
• Wear bushings
• Plastic liners
• Plunger Cup (seal inside tube)
• Cable
• Blade
• Needle

A basic Taper Overhaul with standard wear parts would be $450, not including “hard parts” which would be chains, sprockets, shafts, etc. as these are not standard wear parts.

Generally, tapers should be tuned up every 6 months if the user is stringing 6 or more rolls of tape (500 ft roll) per day Most guys only use 4-10 per week.

I recommend doing a tune up at least once a year for the average user.
