<DIV><FONT size=3>I'll have to admit that I never considered this
subject before reading this thread. The Intersync manual refers to a
NOMINAL tape speed of 15 ips which would be appropriate, and I have to say
that I've never seen an Intersync that didn't have more than enough range to
cover this amount of variance.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>But in thinking this through, it doesn't seem like a good
idea. Recording on a "normal" machine, the capstan is locked to the drum
which is also running slower than it would on a monochrome system.
However, this relationship maintains the video track spacing and angular
specifications. If you mechanically modify the capstan so that it runs
faster, doesn't that distort the track specifications? Granted, it would
be a very small amount, but why would you want to do that? Or maybe I'm
missing something.....</FONT></DIV>
