I could use one of you guys for a day! I've got an archive of old 1" tapes 
I've been wanting to transfer to a modern format. I've got a Sony BVH*** 
(don't have it handy) deck that fires up, but won't lock up and only puts out 
B&W. We've got the TBC, but I'm not sure how to get it all working...

RM 529 - got one in my rack. It's got a fading tube or something, and 
sometimes displays the signal all squished on the "A" side, but the "B" 
channel still works. I've got to pull it and send it in one of these days. 
There are several shops in the U.S. that specialize in keeping those old 
scopes going.
