ok,

cinch has come across a nice rarity…

hinted at earlier…

a set of u-matic tapes:

=================

pics of the deck and tapes:

====================

format : u-matic tape

title : return of the jedi telecine

year : 1983

=========================

condition : average, sound/video drop-outs

color : a little dull, with some parts blown out

sound : mono

=========================

data about tapes:

2 tapes. one has 4 reels (i think), the other has 3 reels.

transferred off a VO-9600 u-matic sp deck.

1 channel audio only.

scotch uca-60 and uca-75 tapes

the telecine might be an rca tk66 or similar with tube cams.

they didn’t have a scope attachment (hence i think it was done on a filmchain) so they transferred it flat.

zoomed in quite a bit, edges are cropped off (see credits)

 

a friend gave it to him, and it has never been played until now… cinch located a u-matic deck, and hooked it up for a video transfer, and then converted it to a raw digital capture.

i have a 1000x480 WMV conversion of it.

pm me for the links ONLY if you can re-host it on other file sharing sites, usenet, and myspleen.

i’ll post more information, screenshots, and details as they come up.

later
