<DIV>Hi Park:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, it's just my afternoon for strange memories I guess! Again,
many years ago, I remember having to do this. If a 15 ips recording
was made using a 5-mil head (yes I know that shouldn't happen, but it can!),
then a 10-mil head may be problematic for playback.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also vaguely recall using a 5-mil head to get rid of some strange
tracking problem on a 15 ips tape, but I don't recall exactly what the
circumstances were on that one.</DIV>

<DIV>The only reason to use a 5 mil head was to play a 7.5 ips tape. I don't
know why someone would use a 5 mil head for a 15 ips tape. </DIV>

<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>
