[QuadList] Blanking Issues

[Trevor Brown]

I did once try moving the missing band of picture from an Ampex 7800 format
machine into the vertical blanking

The problem was servo and transport stability and interchange
If it gets into the broads you will have an un playable tape

The early Umatic as pointed out was only an eddy current brake servo
Would you take the risk


Yes I had a bigger missing band form single head omega wrap
As opposed to twin head omega


But I had an servo driven drum, but V locked is not good enough

Financial reasons , at a guess!

As far as the cost is concerned, it was estimated in 2007 that the money
spent
on homeopathy by the NHS could have saved 600 lives by the prescribing of
Herceptin to more breast cancer patients. (Source: Baum, M., et al)
