[QuadList] Little more fun

Hi Don,

I think I originaly said you have to flip the now full TU reel upside down then put it on the supply side. Also if you don't the tape will come off the wrong side of the reel and the back tendion will be in the wrong direction.  It's the flipping action which puts the back of the tape against the heads.  I flipped the TU reel first, before FFing in the first place.  It has been about 100 years since I did this, you might try it and let me know if I made any mistakes in this.  While you are at it, try it on someone you love.  HI. (But not the boss.)

What is a "B" Wind??

Tnx,

George

Hi George:
 
Must have been some other manuvering involved as well.  If you FF to the TU and then put that reel on the supply side, the oxide will still be facing the head unless you somehow did a "B" wind.

Hi Joe,
 
This was after FF to the TU reel then puting it on the supply side so it is looking at the back of the tape, we were getting a "Nil heard signal" from the tape.
 
Now that you mention it I do remember at some time having a tape upside down on a machine, it did come out upsidedown, but bad picture and lock up with a funny tone from the CTL coming out of the audio. BUt this was with the oxide side facing the tape.
 
Mny Tnx,
 
George
