[QuadList] quad videotape stock question

I tried a roll of Ampex audio 2" on an AVR2 and it clogged the heads (and
the video heads stripped the tape due to its thickness). At the BBC there
was a rumour that someone used to slit 2" tape to use on his 1/4" machine.
It ruined the heads due to the magnetic alignment of the tape.

My advice is not to attempt it.
