    YOU ARE BIDDING ON:
    A 1/4", 15ips SQ QUADRAPHONIC ALIGNMENT TAPE
    This INCREDIBLY RARE tape was manufactured by Columbia Studios. This tape was never intended for retail sale for home use. It was intended for use by radio stations to align their playback tape recorders properly for broadcasting concerts in the SQ Quad format but you can align your machine at home with it perfectly AND the reproduction will be BETTER then if you use the tape that may have come with your machine!
    The instruction for use of this tape are printed on the box cover but, in short, there are 3 tones on this tape. One at 1kHz, another at 7.5kHz and a 1kHz again. Using these tones you align for azimuth and once it's correct you are ready to play back ANY SQ QUAD tape!
    The tape is recorded on Ampex 406.
    This tape has been properly dehydrated and will play perfectly when you get it. Like all Ampex 406
    tapes, it will need to be "baked" again sometime in the future. How soon depends a lot on the climate where you live. A warm damp climate will require baking sooner and cold dry one will require baking later. It's that simple.
    It comes on the 7" reel and the box shown
