I have a 1" 16-track tape that I would like to transfer to digital.
While I have the machine on which it was recorded, it has not been
powered up in 10 years, and it's 50 miles away.

Does anyone here have a 1" 16-track machine who could do a transfer?
It's one tape and, as far as I know, dbx was not used.

Steve Puntolillo will be able to identify it and transfer it. He is
the expert. You will want to tell him which machine it was made on
since there were at least two equalization standards and track widths.

I'm not sure the transfer is THAT valuable. Maybe I need to find someone who
KNOWS Steve to do the transfer. He has to be expensive.

Why speculate when you could ask him?

Call him, talk to him. He's a good guy and used to hang out here a lot.

I have used his services several times and can say he is VERY reasonable
considering what he does.

Did I want to go buy or find a 1" 8 track for 30 tapes, or a 1/2" 4 track
for 50 tapes I had to transfer? No. I calculated the machine cost, shipping,
maintenance and repair costs to get them up & running to my liking. It was
WAY more cost effective time=hassle wise to send them to Steve to do. And it
was done with the proper playback equipment and converters.

Finding a machine and getting these older formats up & running for a short
term transfer even by a local friend can cost you more than the price of
Steve doing the work.

He's already done the heavy lifting restoring his machines so they are at
optimum performance.

Yes I am a happy customer!

I sent him an email last night. Hopefully I'll hear from him soon.

I think that's all you need to know.

Steve and I just had a LONG telephone call. His is amazing. I can tell from
talking to him that if anyone has a tape from which they need a premium transfer
and cannot do it themselves, they need to call him.
