Well, I'll answer the last question first - I have access to a variety

of
tone generators where I work. However, the easiest way is to record an
'A440' tone and check it against a 20 dollar guitar tuner. Or in the
computer with some 'scope shareware.


Right - but my question was about how you know that the recorder that
you make your A-440 test tape on is running at the correct speed? This
is why you need a standard test tape, one that was made on a recorder
that someone knows is running at the correct speed. Similar to the
reason why you need a standard alignment tape for setting up the heads
and electronics - it has to be made on a machine that you know is
properly calibrated.

But, you're right, if I had the confidence and knowledge, I'd have

already
dug around inside a bit further - but I do not. Sending it out (found a

good
guy locally after two weeks) is the way to go.


That sounds like a smart move.


That's the first time I've been accused of that! Lol.

Of course you can learn by doing, but
chances are you'll mess up some things for a while. Not a good idea
to learn on something that you really want to work again.


Yes - and I want this guy working properly. However, I sure learned a few
things during this little exchange. This NG is one of my favorites.

Best regards,
Mike T.
