[QUOTE="kritzingerf, post: 1029913, member: 20533"] Thanx Johan, I appreciate your response. My problem is that I do not know which (if any) of my decks run at the correct speed... so recoding my own tape is not ideal. It is easy enough to get the tones generated and pushed into a deck, but, if my deck is running at the wrong speed I will be recording the test tone at the wrong speed. If I play it back on THAT deck, the tone will be correct, but on another it will be off. So, If I then calibrate using that 'off' frequency, all I am doing is calibrating my other decks to run at the same 'off' speed. If all else fails, this will be what I have to do. at least all my own decks will be matched, and the cassettes recorded on one will sound fine on another deck... But first prize is still if someone HAS a deck that is calibrated and running at the correct speed that I could make a recording on. Even if it is very marginally off, it will be better / closer to correct, I think. of course, the bonus prize is if some one has a factory cassette that I can purchase or purchase a copy of... I still live in hope! [/QUOTE]
