[QuadList] Smith splicer, etc.

Bill:

I don't think there ever was an LBM demod for the AVR-2, although there are LBC AVR-2 board sets.  Many years ago (in the 70's) I used to run into this alot in the educational arena.  Tapes recorded on VR-1000 or VR-1100's that were not properly set up could easily make these kinds of tapes!  The good thing about the VR-1100 signal system is that while it can make incorrect recordings, it also is usually able to reproduce them properly without much trouble.  I still have one of them, but haven't run into tapes like that in a long time.

  All,

   

  I am working on a recovery project and have had a splice part on me.  If anyone knows of a Smith splicer or a 2" audio straight cut splicer in or near Nashville that I could borrow for a few days please let me know.

   

  Also, some of these tapes were recorded with improper deviation in LBM and the sync is low.  I can turn the demod level up so that the sync locks and then run the video through a proc amp to bring it back to normal, but it is still causing the MTBC in my TR-600 to have an excessive amount of jitter.  Does anyone know of some old tricks to make a TR-600 play LBM better?  Was there ever a LBM demod for the AVR-2 or has anyone successfully modified one?  I have two extras so I have something to experiment with.

   

  Tapping the well of all wisdom for all things quad, I thank you in advance.
