Type ‘A’ was always anything  that wasn’t type ‘B’ or ‘C’.   When the 
SMPTE standard for type ‘C’  was adopted, Ampex and Sony made small 
adjustments in their machines to  conform.  I have converted several VPR-1s into 
VPR-2s, but Sony always  made you send the machine back and let them do it. 
Unfortunately, many have  called a whole variety of early 1” recorders type 
‘A’ such as the IVC 800  series, Sony 300 series and Ampex 7000 series, 
but I like to only refer to the  VPR-1 and Sony BVH-1000 (no A, because the A 
made it a C) as type A  machines. 
This is why there is no  reference to a SMPTE type ‘A’ 1” specification as 
there never was one.   There may be some manufacturers details for the 
VPR-1 and BVH-1000 that one  could peruse to see the differences. 
Just my 2 cents  worth!
