[QuadList] OT Has anyone heard of this?

Perhaps the planets are aligned strangely.....I've had more odd 1" format situations in the past 30 days than I've had in years!

Following up on David Crosthwait's finding below, look at the info here regarding the BK411 (a later version of the 401 with better bandwidth according to the information posted in German):
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundig_bk401_1023.html
Can't tell about the B-wind, but the speed matches what was quoted in David Dean's original question.  According to the post, the 411 came out in 1977, so it seems a bit unusual that it would have still been in use in '89.

  Mr. Dean has indicated that it is a 10.5" reel. That will not fit onto any IVC machine except the 900 series, the really big decks. 


  BASF B wind. 1989. No audio except for control noises. Interesting. Computer tape? 


  Some searching indicates that this was used as standard video tape and for medical imaging using a Grunding VTR:
  http://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/pleins_textes_5/pt5/nemato/24492.pdf
  "Professional 2.5 cm video recorder Grunding BK 411 HE, 10MHz resolution, converted to 875lines/50 Hz. 110 min. playing time (2.5 cm chromium dioxide BASF tapes CV 26 R). With electronic editing to assemble and insert various scenes; slow motion forward and reverse and additional module to record individual frames with stationary magnetic tape."

  Was Grunding a B wrap machine?

      Hi



      I have a weird "Video Tape", it is made  by BASF and has the following info - CV26R 1440m, 114 mins (@21 cms/\sec) GPR-Standard on a 10.5 inch NAB 1" reel. The tape has 20 feet of clear leader at the start and end, and was recorded in 1989. It is also a "B" wind. It does not produce anything on a B or C format macine other  than some control signalls from the audio.



      Any good ideas, thanks



      David Dean
