[Videolib] RTI Tapechek 480

2014-05-12 Thread Jodi Hoover 
Hello all-

Recently another department has turned over an RTI Tapechek 480 to the
library.  I found the instruction manual and manufacture's info here:
http://www.rtico.com/tapechek/tc400.html and have even spotted a few for
sale.

I was wondering if any of you have ever used one? Apparently this one is in
working condition but I am a little nervous about using it.

Thanks!

Jodi

Hi Jodi,

We have the RTI Tapechek Video Pro.  It works great.  Just make sure the 
cleaning ribbon is new.  You will need to clean the sapphire blade with a damp 
cloth before you start using it but other than that we have had ours for years 
with no problems.   Run a couple junk tapes through it to make sure everything 
is good.

You get our supplies from the vendor directly

Hope this helps

Dear Videolib,

Does anyone out there have open stack DVDs in compact shelving?

If you do, can I contact you with a query?

Thanks for the help!
