I know multitrack heads weren't ever designed for metal
bias reel-to-reel, but hey, look at all the 1/2inch video tapes
that are metal particle tapes, A modified 1/2 inch transport
with properly designed heads and bias electronics should
make one h***-of- a great 8 channel machine.
Too bad they stopped with the EE tapes!
Imagine emptying out a couple Betacam cartridges and splicing
them onto 10-1/2 inch reels?
Anything wrong with the type of tape used in video?
