We  regularly do type A transfers. We have VR-7800, VPR-7900 and VPR-1's in 
 their original A format.  


There never is a lack of surprises with the A format and pre-A format  
recordings. 


One A format issue is the deterioration of the tape stock. Other  problem 
issues usually point to the lack of basic good engineering  standards when 
the recording was made i.e. the operator did not know what  he/she was doing.


According to Jim Wheeler, the first use of the AST was the 7800 or  7900 
machine although it may have been a prototype only.
