[QuadList] Interesting AVR 3 problem

[Chill315 at aol.com]

The suggestion about looking at the demod out is the best one.  This  looks 
like a recorded in problem.  If it were not an AVR but a VR, perhaps  there 
might be a way to fix it.  Take the demod out and record that on  another 
machine.  Then manually adjust the guide as the tape plays.   Has anyone done 
this?  Would this be a possible fix?  The time base  errors might be too 
great to play the copy.  Any thoughts by our  experts?

Wonder if anybody has ever seen this. 
 
Playing some old shows on a AVR3. 
Set up looks great and plays fine. 
Get about 2/3's in to the tape and I start seeing lines that look  like 
scallop lines only on the right side of the screen for the  remainder of the 
tape. (Left side is absolutely clear).  
Adjusting head dig effects the lines, but does not clear them, even  on a 
new head .
 
Really strange because the first part of the transfer is excellent.  

Has anybody ever seen anything similar? 
 
Thanks
