Thanks for offering.  I'm sure there are enough channels of the original 
electronics that work just fine to dub all 96 tracks serially.  If not, 
I have appropriate preamps that I could substitute.  If there *are* 
complications they might be related to control of the drive mechanism, 
probably not something you are particularly prepared to deal with any 
better than I am.

One needs to turn off auto-adjustment by unchecking the box and if 
correcting manually one needed to bump the time zone and then correct 
the time setting.
