Lines: 23 Summary: References: In yesterday's posting I spoke of a firm in "Rhode Island" that converts US VCRs to multiple video standards. Since then I've found the article in which I had read about them. Turns out I had remembered it rather dimly. The magazine is "Video" for December 1984. In an article on multiple video formats ("Bands across the water") mention is made of Instant Replay, 2951 S. Bay Shore Drive, Miama, Florida. They "...are successfully converting two- and four-head VHS VCRs to multistandard operation...with no loss of original performance specs in NTSC record or playback." There's a hint in the article that the converted machines may only *play* PAL signals, not record them, but it's not clear. And the company might only work with new machines. But that is who they are, if you're interested. -- Matt Fichtenbaum "Our job is to rescue fires, not put out your cat."
