<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">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>
