Thanks Roger. Been looking at ebay. Slim picking right now but will keep looking....
Oh, I didn't realize they gave you a calibration tape for free.
What is the deal with the subscription? Do they have the tapes for the past issues at hand and send them to you as soon as you sign up or do you have to wait for them to make them?

(...) I expect to get a used deck and like to run it through its paces to make sure it measures right. Being lucky to own an Audio Precision Analyzer, with a full suite of tape measurement tests, I can do justice to this rather than the old says of looking at frequency counter and scope. To that end, I like to get a high-quality calibration tape.
if possible (I'm considering acquiring one)...is it a currently supported model or an S1/S2? I believe it was mentioned there was a capability to evaluate tape performance...if you have the W & F module, does it require a test tape?
I have a few MRL alignment tapes, 1/4" and 1/2", obtained from John French and the Tape Project alignment tape...they did NOT match up.
My tech advised that I establish MRL as the reference...I adhered to his advice
(...) Tapes are tricky things when it comes to calibration. One never knows how good they are. Some things are better in digital .
