[QuadList] ½" 7-track FM Instrumentation recorder

[Don Norwood]

Hi Pat:

I do have a 1/2" 7-track FM machine, an Ampex FR-600.  

Do you know the format of the tape to be played?  If it was recorded on an FR-100 series machine, it may not be IRIG.  I think I have both IRIG and the earlier Ampex format heads, but it's been a while since I did anything with the instrumentation formats, so I'm a bit fuzzy on it now.  Feel free to contact me off-list if you need me to look into it.

Don

  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
