[QuadList] Old Sony 1"

[Ted Langdell]

Could be for a Sony EV-200, 210 310, 320 or UV-340 machines circa  
1966-70.

See pictures and click on pictures for details at our friend Richard  
Diehl's

Here's a picture from the 320F showing the reels, holes and screw  
patterns. Note the Ampex 190 reel of tape on the machine

To answer your questions:

1: No

2: Yes, a decade (or is that DECKade) before Sony introduced the  
BVH-1000 which led to the development of SMPTE Type C.

That was the drive to make one format this new Sony development and  
Ampex's Type A format just after the Ampex VPR-1 was introduced with  
AST.

3:  The BVH-1000 and Type C are Omega (almost full) wrap, while the EV  
and UV series were half-wrap machines.

Richard's website reports that the earlier machines used a different  
color recording system than the last-in-line UV-320, which used a  
color under scheme with a 688KHz subcarrier. (Where have we seen 688  
before... :)

The EV and UV color systems were not compatible, and with the  
differences in wraps, neither would be playable on the BVH machines.
