[QuadList] Smith splicer, etc.

[C. Park Seward]

Actually, my 1200B plays LBM perfectly with the NEC TBC. 

Let me know if I can be of help. 


Best,
Park

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.
