Re: Frako caps in Grundig VS620 vcr
New posts keep tracks of all posts since your last login: usually it's the last time you connected to badcaps, but after 30 min vBullettin relogins again and resets the post counter. I usually keep the front page, open all posts in other tabs and read them; if I can reply, I usually do. Sometimes replies take long time (I think a lot before writing, often I correct myself) so I read the number of posts present when I login for the first time, I reload the page and discover how many new posts there are.
I love Bttf saga too
, its time-space paradoxes and the critics Spielberg moves against society (time changes, technology too but mentality don't: people rode fast their horses in XIX century, drive fast their cars in XX and will drive fast their aeromobiles in XXI; there was, is and will be someone cheating the boss for money etc.).
Colors: I think every era has its colors and they shouldn't change. Some old movies in DVD editions usually tend to boast too vivid colors and a perfect tonal balance: this ruins the original film and it's a shame to me, such as coloring b/w pictures like Turner did with Laurel & Hardy commedies.
Film exposure: I don't know what kind of recovery is possible, perhaps with infrared or low light.
VCR: my grandfather has a 2002 Sony 6 head VHS recorder, SLV-SE800 series, but he never uses it. I played with it a couple of times: slightly better picture than my Grundig (anyway you can't squeeze more than a simple VHS tape), stereo and low noise sound (big improvement over my Grundig's mono and noisy audio) but, accustomed to slow rewinding, I found the 60" rewind noisy and annoying (can't stop when I want).
Keep looking for an used one, better an high end model.
LVR: well, you wrote LVD ...
Anyway I did know that Ampex pioneered linear video recording in early 50's, adapting the AEG Magnetophone audio recorder to video (in short: bigger and faster tape for higher bandwith). Despite simplicity, LVR didn't diffuse outside broadcast stations for a simple reason: it required a very long tape, longer than those used in elicoidal head systems such as Betamax and VHS; good tape costed a lot in early '70s and was a real challenge putting enough tape for a 2 hours recording into a cassette like the Compact Cassete Average Joe was accustomed. In fact, early system use reels, not cassettes.
