Yes I'm pretty sure Ampex 344 has no SSS issues so shouldnt be baked. Later ones ( 407/457/456/457) definitely had the problem though.
You didnt mention the recorded tape speed. The Uher 4000 series could go down to 1 7/8 and 15/16 ips. Many pro half track machines will only go down to 7 1/2 or 3 3/4 ips.
