Channel 1 on 388 Repro at Half Volume

So the tape flip means there is an issue at the recording stage, it’s not an issue with your head and it’s wear path and the type of tape you are using. So, yes, you want to remove the cardbay cover and swap the card that includes track 1 with another card and see if the problem follows the card when you record and reproduce.

Could the problem still be a dirty record head? I haven't done a cleaning with pads yet, and I may have been being too precious with the Q-tip cleaning over the years.
