Default Re: Quadruplex 2 inch tape

An alternative to Edivue (post #28) was marketed as the "Vulture Video Verifier" and was a small bottle containing the metal particles which was mixed with alcohol then applied to the tape.The particles aligned themselves with the video tracks and the liquid evaporated leaving the visual pattern of the tracks.I never tried mechanical editing of tapes but did use the method for teaching purposes after using a fixative spray.I still have a bottle of the stuff.Peter.
