Which trashes the sound. Why bother to archive stuff if you're just
going to fruck it up in the process? Oh, right, to save time...

Either do the job right or ask if they want fries.

Not familiar with high-speed duplicating?

And I know where you can get an Ampex 3200 REAL CHEAP.

I still have a 10.5 inch reel of cassette tape from a duplicator
around here somewhere.

The problem with these systems is that if you dupe at 8x, you now
need a record-play system that is flat from 160 Hz to 160 KHz, which
is somewhat more problematic than baseband audio. Hardware out there
does exist, but it's not cost-effective if you're only doing a couple
hundred tapes.

But if they are 5-inch reels of speech recorded at 1 7/8 on consumer
equipment, what kind of HF could we really expect?
