This is your only warning.--> [[File:Vaughn Communications, Inc..jpg\|thumb]] This company was acquired by [[Allied Digital\|Allied Digital Technologies]] on January 9, 1999. In March of that year, ~~a new division of~~ said company's name was ~~formed:~~changed to Allied Vaughn. == List of Customers == Line 6 ⟶ 7: * Crocus Entertainment * The National Arbor Day Foundation * Silver Burdett Ginn (1991) * Simitar Entertainment (????-1998) == How to Tell == * Most tapes did not have any form of printing; however, some, such as one known copy each of Sol Bianca from A.D. Vision and Music Magic Video Library - From Mao to Mozart -- Issac Stern in China (Excerpts) from Silver Burdett Ginn, had the Vaughn V printed above the recording tab, with a number representing the tape length next to it, while others had a small V-XX tape length above the recording tab and an equally-sized long string of numbers on the spine ~~like~~(e.g. ~~this~~'''V-60 ~~for example:~~2-9406080134'''). * Early tapes, as well as several Simitar tapes duplicated here, had dark red printings consisting of the letter V (often represented by the Vaughn V) followed by two strings of numbers (e.g. '''[Vaughn V]3286 159900'''). Occasionally, the releasing company's name was stamped to the left (e.g. '''<small>SIMITAR</small> V3119 510601'''). On one known copy of ''From Beyond: Monsters and Sci-Fi Monsters'', the Vaughn V was at the end of the code (e.g. '''4831 62650[Vaughn V]'''). Tapes with such printings had a few extra seconds of black screen following the blank space at the tail-end. * ~~Not a single tape~~Tapes from this duplicator ~~had~~do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.▼ ~~'''V-60 2-9406080134'''~~ * Tapes duplicated at the plants acquired with Centercom Inc. continued to use that duplicator's printings (e.g. '''<big>2</big> 65951211 0914 00135 <big>T75</big>''' or '''<big>2</big> 65951354 0914 02213 <big>T75</big>'''). On some copies of ''Samurai Shodown: The Motion Picture'', these printings were gray, due to the tape being white. * Early tapes had dark red printings like this for example: ~~'''[Vaughn V]3286 159900'''~~ * Tapes with these dark red printings had a few extra seconds of black screen following the blank space at the tail-end. ▲* Not a single tape from this duplicator had anything in the vertical blanking interval. * Tapes duplicated at the plants acquired with Centercom Inc. continued to use that duplicator's printings, like this for example: ~~'''<big>2</big> 65951354 0914 02213 <big>T75</big>'''~~ * On some copies of Samurai Shodown: The Motion Picture, the above printings were gray, due to the tape being white. <gallery> File:3286 15900 (End of the Trail Tape 1).jpg\|An example of what the dark red printings on early tapes by this duplicator looked like.
