[QuadList] Andy Williams (was Question about PAL-M Quad players)

It was rumored that Andy Williams show ran into White Powder clogs (not
involved only a story) and could not be recovered

I will see if I can track the source of the story down

I have never had either a Chroma 90 or 3m's 420 that I could not recover,
worst case is it came off in sections and needed a little editing

 

BBC engineers made a Christmas tape called White Powder Christmas (chroma
90) and another called Good king Memorex

Seems to have be taken of you tube, but rip scratch from Good king Memorex
is still on the VT old Boys site

Also be interested in how old the PAL M tapes are and what stock they were
recorded on old tape do suffer moisture, and of course 420 and Chroma 90 had
white powder problems in the UK

Again interested to know if the USA had similar problems, was this not what
killed the Andy Williams show recovery


Are you sure about this? I transferred several hundred Andy Williams shows
several years ago for Andy's son Bobby. Very few of them were on Memorex
Chroma 90 (a known sticky tape source), and I never encountered one that I
could not fully recover. 

Just curious to know about this story.
