Open Reel Videotape Restoration Preservation

Tony Conrad documents restoration of a 1/2" Sony videotape (presumed 1973) that produced no image on a Sony AV-8650; deposits of backing material and magnetic oxide coating clogged the head drum, guides and skew post. Using a rig elevating the take-up reel with a 45-rpm record and empty audiotape reel, silicone-soaked wipes and repeated head and guide cleaning, the tape ran for 10–15 minute segments, sufficient to re-record a master comparable to 1977 playback though a short section was abraded. Published The Independent October 1987; earlier version Hallwalls March 1987.

Operating a Remastering Facility Preservation

BAVC operated a remastering center transferring obsolete formats such as 1/2" open-reel tape; transfers involved cleaning machines, playback decks and manual procedures that could take several hours and required trained technicians (early pay noted as $15/hour) and a 20% income reserve for maintenance. The center secured preservation funding and organized Playback 96: Video Roundtable, partnered with NIPAD to train dance companies, and sought support from sources such as the NEA Heritage and Preservation Program. Staff proposed research into tape baking, integrated cleaning/playback machines, magnetic transfer methods, uncompressed nonlinear workflows (Avid Symphony/D1), archival data formats (DLT/D1) and collaboration with WGBH's Universal Preservation Format Initiative.
