So many of those orphans out there now since the digital revolution forced their obsolescence.
That being said I ran a VHS tape thru the Nova 800 full-frame and found the results rather impressive No it won't make chicken salad or even a chicken taco but it did clear up some of the timing and phasing issues well enough to recover the tape to another medium. The Nova 700 according to what I could find has a 32-line window and 8-bit depth, this one is also very sensitive to what's in the vertical interval and hangs up on the Macrovision 100% black/white stripes and freezes everything. The Microtime T100's seem to do the best all around despite their age and will clean up all that nonsense without complaining, they did their best with my VO-2860A which has its own built-in sync generator that subs in a clean pulse based on what's received from the tape but it's still subject to the timing errors. I can only lock the deck using ext BB but this doesn't seem to be a problem when everyone is dancing to the same tune.
