[QuadList] ½" 7-track FM Instrumentation recorder

[Bill Carpenter]

Hi Folks,

 
The Govt had a 7 track, 1/2" tape FM instrumentation recorder, named the UNQ-8, 
(nicknamed "Unc Eight" ) and was used on the Polaris Subs, to record data from a 
missile firing, when the missile is traveling from the sub tube to the surface. 


This was in the early 60's, since I worked on the "B" version in 1963.

I hope this helps?

Bill Carpenter

Guys,
 
I am trying to hunt down a ½” 7-track FM Instrumentation recorder to play back 
some NASA tapes.  The models that I know are compatible are the Honeywell 96 and 
the Ampex FR-107—I’m sure there are others as well.   I’m wondering if any of 
the guys on the Quad list might be helpful in locating this type of instruments.
 
I was wonder if Ken Zin or Don Norwood would have any idea where I could 
purchase or rent one of these instruments.  I have no idea whether the tapes 
were recorded in full wide band, wide band 1 or 2.
 
Pat
