On the other hand you can heterodyne it UP easily to VHS and run it into the tuner ...
if that is aligned broad enough. You can of course check to see that by trying different channels.
O you can just use the markers at their upside down places and get the shape right,
knowing where they actually are.

I forget how exactly they did it but mixing 2 some waves creates new sine waves at both the sum and difference frequencies so they may have used the difference and a higher frequency oscillator or double conversation. ISTR the markers were in the right places...
I may be using my B&K to align a 44MHz set tonight and if that goes well I may dig up that thread and use that to down convert my generator.
