- The Chipmunk Library (1987-1989)
Goldstar Video (1992) (only some tapes under the Random House Home Video label)

Not a single tape from this duplicator has any form of printing on the cassette, nor anything in the vertical blanking interval.
Several tapes use oversized reels, while some of them use regular reels.
Most tapes from this duplicator were duplicated in EP/SLP mode and lack hi-fi sound. However, some tapes under the Chipmunk Library label were duplicated in SP mode.
Numerous pre-1990 tapes have a silent red screen following the blank space at the very end.
From 1991-1993, tapes from this duplicator had a few extra seconds of black screen following the blank space at the very end.
Most copies from this duplicator have the static roll at the end.
Several tapes have the record tab intact.
