[QuadList] Quad tapes restoration in Brazil

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, Adair,

Thanks for the links.  An interesting read.

Are all the tapes mainly PAL-M, or just the Umatic?

I see that BCN is mention as the 1" format.

There seems to be a TR-70 being used as a tape cleaner.  Do I see rolls of toilet paper being used as a cleaning surface?  Or has someone had Pellon material cut at wider than 2" and rolled up?

That would be useful.

Ted
