<DIV>Hi Tom:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My experience is different. Even when working in non-comercial
facilities in the 70's, we had lots of LBM material, but it was almost all
recorded at 15 ips. All of the LBM tapes I've transferred in recent times
have also been 15 ips.</DIV>

recorded with a 5 mil head (not the standard 10 mil head). <BR><BR>The
digital TBCs of the AVR-2 and TR-600 generation were clocked by an oscillator
locked to colorburst. What happens when no colorburst is present?
Perhaps a VR-1200 with AMTEC could do better.<BR><BR>-Tom Evans (with more

<P class=MsoNormal>All,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am working on a recovery project and have had a splice
part on me. If anyone knows of a Smith splicer or a 2” audio straight
cut splicer in or near Nashville that I could borrow for a few days please
let me know.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also, some of these tapes were recorded with improper
deviation in LBM and the sync is low. I can turn the demod level up so
that the sync locks and then run the video through a proc amp to bring it
back to normal, but it is still causing the MTBC in my TR-600 to have an
excessive amount of jitter. Does anyone know of some old tricks to
make a TR-600 play LBM better? Was there ever a LBM demod for the
AVR-2 or has anyone successfully modified one? I have two extras so I
have something to experiment with.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Tapping the well of all wisdom for all things quad, I
thank you in advance.</P>
