Not different at all!

Actually, John has done a lot of excellent custom work for us. Below is
a link where (amongst lots of other tape machine restoration info)
you'll find pictures and discussion regarding three out of several
custom head assemblies. Just scroll down through the page as they are in
three different sections. 

Make sure you don't miss the custom 1" 4-track head assembly in the
Ampex MR70 section. John totally outdid himself on that one.
