<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">I am trying to hunt down a ½” 7-track FM
Instrumentation recorder to play back some NASA tapes. The models that I
know are compatible are the Honeywell 96 and the Ampex FR-107—I’m
sure there are others as well. I’m wondering if any of the
guys on the Quad list might be helpful in locating this type of instruments.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">I was wonder if Ken Zin or Don Norwood would have any idea
where I could purchase or rent one of these instruments. I have no idea
whether the tapes were recorded in full wide band, wide band 1 or 2.</span></font></p>
