It should be remembered that the rf drive level should be set to saturate the magnetic tape, not the head. Depending on the format this is likely to be different in each case. Therefore to achieve optimum performance the record drive should match the tape, sufficiently greater drive levels may not be available for later high coercivity tapes.

Point taken but I've never experienced a problem using latest/last generation VHS tape in Betamax, V2000 (both generations), and Philips 1700 machines. In fact, as I've already mentioned, the results were superb, verging on (to the eye) off-air quality. |
Hi Steve,
How did you solve the problem with the metallic stop-stripe?
Folks, please watch this video, see the stripe at 24.22 min:

How do you glue tapes?
B.t.w., see now what is all recorded on old VCR-cassettes:

Hi Dalek, It was over ten years ago and I can't remember the details, but I definitely did it and they worked. I have never used glue on tapes, in fact I don't know what you mean by that.
