I expect you are correct and the decks could all use calibration and various electronic adjustments. There are numerous electronic calibrations described in the SM.
I am planning to obtain calibration tape(s) but I also need to get a frequency counter and a high impedance VTVM.
A distortion meter wouid be nice but probably outside of my budget.
A funny story: I have a Lafayette bulk tape eraser and was using it this week in preperation for some recording testing. But I inadvertently left my wallet full of credit cards close to the eraser as I was doing the tapes.
Yep, went to the coffee shop yesterday and most of my cards could not be read. I wiped the stripes I guess :(
