It seems as if there were many good ideas flowing to various
specific email lists lately and some of what I was writing might
benefit people who don't have time to read all the email lists I
try and get through every day. It also seems that some of the
projects I'm working on are cross-platform and, for example,
equally involve Studer and Sony tape machines. The restoration
reflect things which I'm involved with and that I'd like to share
with other restorers and archivists.
The Restoration Notes Blog is at http://www.richardhess.com/notes/
I have the RSS feed enabled on the Blog, so if you want to keep
track of updates, that might be a way to go. I'm experimenting with
Snarfer http://www.snarfware.com/ if you want a suggestion for a
Windows RSS tool.
Anyway, please provide feedback as to whether this is useful. Also,
ideas for articles would be appreciated...no promises, however.
So far the topics cover Studer A810, Sony APR-5000 and APR-16/24,
tool esoterica, and loading C-0 cassette shells. Watch for more
information on resolving pilot tracks sometime in the future and
Sony PR-150 tape's degradation (yes, I have another reel of that
stuff in to transfer).
Cheers,
Richard
