Sounds like an alignment problem (NOT the audio-control head) or maybe
skewing tape. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless.

Make a new recording on a new tape & see what happens. -----=osted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =--- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =--- |
