Looking at the bottom of the screen, it appears this may not even
be a first generation tape. I'm actually a bit surprised to see
what appear to be consecutive tracking errors along the bottom.
Can you tell us what generation this might be; if any TBC was
used; and so on ...<br>

<div>Yes, the IVC has it's advantages especially in color
reproduction. We've done a lot of 1" type A and 1" IVC over the
last few years and IVC jobs are always more rewarding. Here's an

You'll notice the Ampex used a moving pinch roller path

Well if we never getting it working

We regularly do type A transfers. We have VR-7800, VPR-7900 and
VPR-1's in their original A format.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There never is a lack of surprises with the A format and
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
operator did not know what he/she was doing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>According to Jim Wheeler, the first use of the AST was the
7800 or 7900 machine although it may have been a prototype only.</div>
