  Machines (2) are Otari MX5050 BII . Bias was set for Maxell UD last time it was changed. Since I use every kind of tape known to man, I haven't messed with bias changes. I know I should but life's too short :-)

      I still remember the Alte Kirch Boswil incident, vividly.

      Type 631 is 1.5mil voice-grade tape (185 nW/m) and 632 is LNHO duplicating tape (whatever that is), also 185 nW/m. This from the Ampex tape list compiled by Scott Dorsey.
