Re: [ARSCLIST] Tape Speed resolver question

Exactly Dave.

Also the example of EECO (ECCO?) code I found on the internet contained
a 60 hertz component in addition to their proprietary code (pre SMPTE).
Their thought (if I could read their minds) was to allow the possibility
of speed resolved playback in the future should all of the original code
hardware become obsolete. Very forward thinking.

The hunt for a solution continues!

Cheers!

Bruce
