Hi Bill......

So are you saying that you used a 5-mil head and recovered two different 
programs from the tape?

I have dubbed some tapes from a 10 and the head was definitely an octoplex 
as there was differential timing from one set of heads to the other.  The 
good news is that the digital TBC in the AVR-2 was able to correct it and a 
previously thought 'lost' piece of material is now safe on a new digital 
format.

I have seen the portable one displayed.  It was a military unit that was 
sold to the public.  I was told somewhere that the original military one was 
a Octo-plex unit.  I have vague memories of someone previous mentioning the 
model and working with it.  So we have to assume that it was sold.

Any way this has been an interesting discussion.
