Technics 1500 Test Alignment Tapes
« on: February 21, 2011, 02:45:53 PM »
Hello,

I have speed problems with my 1500 (prior post) and need a test tape with about 10 minutes of 3 kHz tones at 7 1/2 IPS and 10 minutes of 3 kHz tones at 15 IPS to check wow and adjust the speed.  Is there a source for this?

How about the standard recording level, azimuth and freq. response tape for 71/2 & 15 IPS?  Does the Tape Project sell any test/alignment tapes?  Any other sources known?

The wow/speed tape is most pressing for me right now.

Thank you, Bob Edwards

I was aware of MRL but looking for other sources in case.
