I am in the process of changing over a 24track to an 8track and wanted
to see if anyone has done this. On the A800 the levels off the MRL are
huge. I can't get the level down to a -6 alignment.

What levels do you align to?

If -6 or -9, how did you get there? I am experimenting with changing
some resistor values to get where I want, but I'm curious what other
people have done.

I have what sounds like the identical heads from JRF on my Studer
A800. No hardware modifications or special tapes were necessary to
calibrate; it came right up.

You do have to go through the full cal procedure with the master osc
and erase current, but I assume you did that. I'll drop John a note
and touch base with him and help get this sorted for you.
