Examples: M-15, A-30, H-45, W-15, T-30, K-45, etc. * 1986-1989 tapes would have a screen saying "FOR BEST QUALITY PICTURE ADJUST TRACKING CONTROL" or "FOR BEST PICTURE QUALITY ADJUST TRACKING CONTROL" at the beginning of the tape. This was later removed after 1989. * Tapes by this duplicator do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
