Are you playing a quarter track tape on a half track head?

Prerecorded Tapes / Re: CROSS TALK WITH 4 TRACK TAPES
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:55:38 PM »
The quarter track format offers cross talk, usually in the lower frequecies.

Ampex heads fare better than some others.

If the frequecies in the background are above 200Hz, you may have an alignment issue.

No

Yes, the machine "sees" the hub diameter not the reel diameter.

Beside the fact that many of these are on acetate stock, the positive thing is
that the high speed dubing process was young and the speed were lower like 2X or 4X versus 32X

Prerecorded Tapes / Re: Baking the tape...........
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:45:06 PM »
If the tape doesn't have back coating, you probably dont have SSS

The silicone dry lubricant impregnated into the oxide emulsion has probably dried out.

Pre-recorded reels generally used duplicator stock  Ampex 631 etc.  No Bake These
