KUSP-FM prebroadcast Revox B77 7.5 ips 1/2 track reel master [Revox A700 playback] > Tandberg 9241XD Dolby B 1/4 track reel at 3 3/4 ips.

Transfer: Tandberg 9241XD (Dolby B decoded) > Macintosh with DigiDesign AudioMedia III soundcard > Pro Tools (normalization and tracking - No EQ or DNR) > Aiff > xACT (Flac level 8 files with sector boundaries verified).

Notes: The disc split between the main set and encores was the only break in the recording so it was the logical place to split it up, but the show can be divided more evenly if desired (such as between tracks 8 and 9 of the first disc). My Ampex GrandMaster 1st gen. reel was back-coated and required baking before transfer. The setlist was copied from the KUSP reel box.
