[QuadList] RCA air guide photos

[L.E. Odham]

Hi list, 



Here are a couple photos that further illustrate the earlier posting about the magnetic dropouts introduced onto a tape by RCAs air cushion tape guide. 



This guide was replaced on  a TR -22 many years ago : 



first photo is a close-up taken at 3 inches back 

sceond photo is pulled straight back about 12 inches, holes arent even visible at that point. 



I'm amazed  how tiny those holes are, or what kind of drill made them, if it was a drill. 



photos attached 



enjoy, 


Larry Odham
