No one in his right might would make production copies from the master. The master is used to make a bunch of safety masters, which are then used for various needs, including making the tapes sent to different countries for LP production. But no one touches the master, it is kept in a vault.Today some companies do get access to master tapes - it is a big and expensive event. And they make one copy. It is not "Johnny, Shruzumbe wants to issue some LP's, pull the master from the shelf, make another copy!"
The level of technology at that studio shocked me. They had no Ampex platters... heck, I have four of them, and I am not a world famous studio. They do exist.
And that rubber band and a lamp base????
Now... the direct copies of master tapes DO exist and can be bought, but that only happens at small studios, companies such as IPI - they will run a copy when you place an order. But such deals are exceedingly rare and usually have the recordings of some local artists. Their quality is often shockingly good. The music? Often not so much.

That studio's 1/2 speed remasters are legendary alright.
Legendary pieces of crap
The guy is a total tin ear.
:D
But you must agree that the rubber band trick works to slow down the Studer 810's rewinding speed.
I do it with no rubber band and no lamp base. He looked utterly ridiculous.
I was a little aghast at first when I saw it. But then, It works so why I didn't think of that before when I was rewinding some of my problematic tapes in the past?
Hopefully, the owner of the tapes is quite happy with the tape transfer results.
They can rewind at very slow speed, all the way down to zero.
That's what I thought. And the terms "library wind" and "archive wind" come to mind, although I don't remember if Studer used those specific terms.

...is different from the traditional library wind, which is usually a two-button salute.
On Studer you have to enter the Edit mode, doing two pushes. The first one activates the Edit speed button, the second push disengages the rollers, so the tape would not touch the heads, it would go in straight line instead, as it does for FF and Rewind. You then turn the Edit knob to set the speed.
This is somewhat similar to what the Lyrec does, for instance.
Different machines do it different ways. On an MCI you have continuously variable speed, starting with zero, on Telefunken you have a three stage switch, on most machines you have to press two buttons simultaneously, and on Ampex ATR-800 you use the Shuttle control.
The important thing is the presence of that very valuable function. I pretty much never use the full speed wind.
