Tandberg is most certainly in business.  The company in Norway is still
around, but about ten years ago they changed their US. distributor to
Ortofon.  Give the Ortofon people a call, and they will provide parts
for Tandberg gear with no problem.  I called up asking for a replacement
head for my model 64, and they custom made a mount for a 3000-series
head (hand machined out of brass no less!), put a head in it, and shipped
it to me for $75.  Even more interestingly, I could change a resistor and
a capacitor in the bias oscillator and use EE tapes with the machine.  I
have great faith and had great service from the Tandberg support people.
I haven't that much faith in their equipment, but the folks who work on
them know their stuff.
