Sometimes you can get a better idea of what is going on with heads by playing a prerecorded tape in forward search. Its unlikely that all the heads are bad, if any. If I feel that a head is either bad or clogged and I cannot unclog it, I run a lapping tape for about 10 seconds. Sometimes that unclogs it and anyway at that point there is nothing to lose.
