<DIV>We might have played with the record currents when swapping to a
high-band head. Just optimize them same as you would any time you changed
heads. If you really have a ball bearing low band head, be certain there's
compressed air available where the headwheel panel is seated on your
machine before you drop in an air bearing head (high or low
band).</DIV>

<DIV>Blue Ribbon was the family name of the blue and gold Amphenol module
connectors. They were used in other places besides VTRs. Many VTR problems
could be cured by pulling a module and cleaning the road dirt off the
gold fingers. Such a sick machine was said to have "Blue Ribbon-itis". Lots of
us depended on a trusty Pink Pearl eraser to keep anything with card edge
connectors or Blue Ribbon connectors working
properly.</DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
