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 (e.g. V-60 2-9406080134).
  • Early tapes had dark red printings (e.g. [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 (e.g. 2 65951354 0914 02213 T75). On some copies of Samurai Shodown: The Motion Picture, these printings were gray, due to the tape being white.
