As part of a grant-funded project at the Stanford Media Preservation Lab, a Sony AV-3650 1/2" open-reel videotape machine was refurbished for use in our video reformatting lab located in Redwood City. This video was produced as part of a presentation at the American Institute of Conservation annual meeting in 2014. It shows one of our AV-3650 playing a tape. At the time this was produced, our refurbished machine was out for calibration but the machine shown here was another working AV-3650 we had recently acquired for future use in the lab.
