- shnid s2t06 (3 x Sony ECM-54P) supplies
- s2t06; 07:17 - 07:33

Notes:
- emphasis decoded & dc offset removed
- the copy from pcm clone was via a 601esd and spdif, thus a clone of the beta pcm and not an analog out to analog in copy.
- shnid 148386 channels are incorrect.  This source is correct

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes from MOTB: This is one of those OMG recordings... we wish this was the quality all of our releases.

Notes from Jim Goldman: In 1990 or so my uncle was going to throw out a big box of reel to reel tapes and since he still had the machine he bought to play them on I wanted to go through the box. Most of the reels were WLS top 40 for 6 years in a row not missing a week. I found a diferent type of tape (Ampex) and it said GD Huntington and that was it. I of course wanted to transfer it as best I could and there were no real 24/48 recorders out there except for computer recording. The computer room was on the complete other side of the home so we did a transfer in real time on a Phillips "super CD" recorder which meant 24/48. What may have happened is we ran out of room on a CD and had to stop the recorder very quickly to change CDs and that may also make the missing verse question answered. I started again at the wrong place. this was a huge challenge and I think we did OK.

note 12/2005: I fixed a sector boundary error on D1t12. Further, shntool.txt noted that the WAVE headers were not canonical (44 bytes) for any of the files. By running everything through xACT 1.55 and writing new SHN files, the new files were made canonical by stripping unnecessary data via shntool's built-in strip mode. Finally, I brought the 2nd set file names into a consistent naming pattern. xACT then wrote a new md5 file and shntool report. gearfab.etree.org
