Reprinted statement from Joel Hamilton:

"Just got off the Phone with the guys from Lyndstrom/ATR services.

THEY WILL BE MAKING TWO TAPE FORMULATIONS, IN ALL FORMATS WITHIN TWO TO THREE MONTHS!!!!!!!

Carl Rusk is who I was on the phone with, he is one of the people in the "doom and gloom" Wall St. Journal article.

There will be a High Output formulation based on some of our old favorites, and a lower output formulation based on a very old favorite.

YES. FOR REAL. THIS IS IN MOTION, AND THEY WILL BE MAKING TAPE WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS!!!!!!

This company should be supported. Obviously this was a wake up call.
Tell anyone with a tape machine. The tape will be BETTER quality than what we have been dealing with lately."

I guess once I see it happen I won't panic, it is a ray of hope.

I should also say that it's for all types, from 1/8" to 2". We don't know if the cost of tape will stay the same (respectively) but I'm guessing it won't deviate much if at all from what we're used to.

Re: Who is ATR?

If its not one thing it another. :(

So who is this company? What do they make?
Click to expand...
The company is ATR services - http://atrservice.com

They specialise in refurbishing and modding Ampex ATR-100 series
tape machines, up to and including their bizarre 108 model, which is a 2" 8-track
recorder using JRF heads.

I want one, but I can't have one..
 
If you want to help out ATR get a feel for market potential go over to Fletchers Forum at R/E/P and add to the questionaire.
