He arrived. Nice fellow. Works in the post mixing business here locally. We mounted the tape on the AVR-1. Played it. Nothing. Tails out? Could not tell. Oxide out? Yes. I could see a control signal, but nothing else. My suspicion was that it was the rare Ampex VR 650/660 2" helical format. Fired up the machine, and found some interesting images and sound. First off, the beginning of the tape was a 1966 recording of "Hollywood A Go Go", one of the most visually exciting shows to watch, as compared to Bandstand, Thaxton, etc. The rest of the tape was local Alaska morning news plus a leftover teenage dance program. It's all a glimpse of the sixties.<br><br><br>Ya never know what you will find on these tapes.
