[QuadList] Apollo tapes

[Ian Mackenzie]

There is a continuing search for any of the tapes.

It is almost certain that the original tapes were re cycled by NASA but

There were other tapes made that have not been found.

At Parkes where the radiotelescope dish was used to receive the
transmissions 

from the moon and in Sydney at the OTC / NASA control centre there were
other recorders.

 

There is information that the video was recorded on a VR660 helical 2
inch machine in Sydney

and that at Parkes and at Honeysuckle Creek tracking station the data
was recorded as well.

 

Does anyone know anything about a modified VR660 used to record data

instead of video that may have been at Parkes?

 

There is a huge amount  of information on the website www.honeysuckle
creek.net

 

The improved quality that would be seen if today's image processing was 

applied to the original data stream would be incredible.
