      We regularly do type A transfers. We have VR-7800, VPR-7900 and
      VPR-1's in their original A format.
      <div><br>

        pre-A format recordings. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>One A format issue is the deterioration of the tape stock.
        Other problem issues usually point to the lack of basic good
        engineering standards when the recording was made i.e. the
