[QuadList] save htis and look tr4 converts to hi band but also needmodule...

Ed,

Yes, there are many things to watch for on a scope. RF levels, servo readings, velcomp, Amtec, Colortec on Ampex VTRs, control track levels and waveforms, stuff like that.

Any scope should work. But since the VTR was designed for record, I don't know what scope outputs it has. After all, I'm an Ampex guy!

Best,
Park

As it stands, there is no timing correction, so the playback is B&W only.  In fact, even for that to meet broadcast specs required an external proc amp.  The main purpose of the machine was to record in the field.  It's not designed for serious playback use, however you could use it in the museum to demonstrate lo-band B&W playback.
