<div>Hi Steve,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the reply about the HS Dubber. The part I don't quite understand is the RF field, what kind of field was it? How did it pass the mag info to the blank tape? Also did it damage the original mirrored master? I ran into a fellow who worked on one and he told me he had lots of trouble with it, it was a "Bear".</div>

<div dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=558220122-09032010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It was my understanding at the time (70's) that the "high speed dubs" were first recorded on a special "master" machine (AVR-1?) that was specially manufactured to record a mirror image onto the master tape. This special machine was identical in all respects to a standard machine, except that it was a mechanical mirror (head rotated backwards, tape ran backwards, I am not sure). But the net result was that it recorded a tape that was a mirror image of a normal recording.</FONT></SPAN></div>

<div>Hi Gary,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Actualy, I think if you had the oxide side of the tape on the heads, the heads would be completely slanted in the opposite angle from the recorded tracks. With the back of the tape on the heads, we didn't get enough signal to make any video at all.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You just rang another bell. Has anyone run into the Ampex High Speed Dubber?? I only saw one once at EUE in New York, briefly. I understand an AVR-1 was needed to make a mirror image tape first, then the dubs were made by putting the new mirror tape against the blank and some kind of field was shot thru them and the video was recorded on it.</div>

You were still reading the oxide side. This put the control track where the audio heads expected audio so you hear control track. Capstan would free run without control track. Some clever people put 240hz tone on the audio track allowing the capstan to be a bit more stable as a joke. I think newer machines did not like this too much but I’ll bet the AVR1 could play it and probably turn the picture back up </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">J</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> (just kidding).
