[QuadList] RCA TR 5 on eBay

Sun Feb 19 14:20:46 CST 2012

So I have to ask, 

Were these color framed or not? 
Did you use time code?
How do you know that it did not overwrite an earlier edit?

Obviously new high band head and preamp,

mod/demod mods
and significant re-building the record amplifiers.
Theres a lot of non-obvious spectrum magic that takes place in those  
record amps!
And I built an editor that could do single-frame edits for it  too!
Here is my test run, 1275 consecutive off-the-air single-frame edits  all 
perfect!
(Unfortunately this is from a 3/4" dub, I didnt' save the  original.)

Makes for a real time-capsule!

Dave,

Other  than the TBC, what was involved with the high-banding effort?  
Mod/demod/filters? Updated head wheel/pre-amps? Was this a home-brew effort?  
Regardless, hats off  to you!

I high-banded one once a long time ago.
We used  a CVS TBC with the switching mod to play it back.
Its slightly easier to move around than a TR4.
The lack of monitoring is kind of inconvenient.

I had one of these and they were good low band recorders.  This one has an 
editor in it.  The alignment tape would be  nice to have.  This machine was 
used for winding tapes because it  was not high band.  It also served as a 
spare parts bin for the  TR-60 we had.  Control modules, and servo amps were 
the same.  And you get the book.
