Sometimes, sleazeBay rocks! by DeserTBoB
Another Ampex TU-40 for my lab...for only $52.01! These were about the best wow and flutter bridges ever made, and I got this one for a song! Now...I wonder if it works. The seller's obviously without a clue. No matter, I have the schemos and gear to calibrate it to a "t". Funny...last one I...

Scotch "Classic"...more top-of-the-line by DeserTBoB
This morning I popped open a Scotch "Classic" cartridge for comparison to Ampex's 389 "Grand Master." Few surprises here, and I believe that Classic is the same stuff as Scotch 306-307 RTR tape on a .5 mil, graphite coated backing. Again, I'd like to soon cut the splice and run tests on my Ampex...

BASF...good paperweights? by DeserTBoB
I fooled around with a couple of BASF "Performance 90s" this morning. I think they'd be best used as paperweights! A hotter tape than Scotch 175 (the perennial baseline for 8 track), it's also a lot noisier than it is hot. I had a HELLUVA time getting any real good top end on this tape until I...

TC8s as blanks, con't. by DeserTBoB
Today, before heading to the dentist (ARGH!) I ran off some stuff on a couple of bulk erased TC8s and did some quick checking on the tape. It's Scotch 175, I'd almost bet the farm on it...same basic performance all the way around...generally mediocre, but good enough for 8 track in most cases. So,...
