Dave:
1" was a post production/TV broadcast format. Machines cost $75,000 and up. Arguably the best analog video recording format ever invented. Ampex and Sony were the major players in "type C" recording, as the standard was referred to.
Digital recording technology gradually made the format obsolete. There should be some transfer or post production houses that have working machines but I bet the cost to use them will be high. I would bet a Philadelphia TV station has one or two working units as there is a lot of material archived to 1". I would guess that NFL films has working machines.
Are you looking to just find out what is on the tapes or do you want copies made?
