Custom 1/4" headstack for the ATR 104. 1/4 Track Stereo in the Sync position / Full Track Mono in the Repro position. Both wired through the Repro electronics, so no need for a switch. Noiseless. This makes format switching and realignment so much easier.

The Magnetic Viewer is the coolest little tool I've ever encountered. Super simple science, but without it my job would be way harder. It's tiny magnetic particles react to the recorded material on the tape, revealing the format. Here's a 4 track on a 1/4" tape. Without documentation, this tool is a mystery solver.
