You anticipating a demand for 1630 transfers?
One would think there would be thousands of U-matic tapes layin' around, waiting to be transferred and re-mastered. JT

I wouldn't expect a ton of transfer work, since most 1630s were used as intermediate storage to get to CDs, and are sitting at replication plants. Logically, there would be manufactured discs available to serve as excellent back up and work sources, so who needs the tapes?
I did have an inquiry for 1630 mastering as a source for mastering. The studio mixed to it back in the day. It's the first request like this for me since about 1998!
I mastered from an F1 tape on VHS last year... and in the same year a dbx 1/4" master, the first time for that in my career. They both actually sounded excellent. Go figure.
