How to Tell

• Most tapes did not have any form of printing; however, some 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 this for example:

V-60 2-9406080134

• 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:

2 65951354 0914 02213 T75

• On some copies of Samurai Shodown: The Motion Picture, the above printings were gray, due to the tape being white.
