I can arrange for a SuperBeta recording right off a Type-C, how about an original of "Streets Of Fire" straight from the TBC output? I have plenty of small SP tapes that are doing nothing in the cabinet. This would get you a something from another SuperBeta deck to work with. PM me and maybe we can work something out. I also have Duran Duran Decade and INXS direct from a VIACOM distro.

Pushing the luma was easier than expanding the chroma subcarrier which was at the bottom of the bandspread, expansion would have probably moved it into the sync portion or AFM carriers, all of the hetrodyne downconversions have a limited color resolution be it SVHS, Beta U-Matic or Hi8... just the nature of the beast. There was a lengthy explanation to the downconversion floating about some 20 years ago but I've not been able to find it since google took over the internet.
