Re: Quadruplex 2 inch tape
Quad tapes were expensive so original programmes were usually written over with another programme etc etc. Sometimes a 16mm film kinescope copy was made before erasing the tape but the film copy was never as good as the original video recording.
Without a fully working Quad playback machine it's probably still possible to at least identify the contents using a 2" multitrack audio tape machine (in excellent condition!) playing only the relevent outside audio track. Tape speed was usually 15ips I think.
Mods, shouldnt this thread be in the TV and video section?
