Perhaps you can do a video where you record a vinyl on tape and then play it back while you recording the sound within good interface or recorder. Perhaps you can use something from analog productions old original first press vinyl.
The VU's on that setting on an A77 don't actually represent recorded levels. You need to record a 1kHz odB ref signal and then adjust meters to that. And tails out recording is what those in the know do
Are you referring to the reference level? I'm aware that the VU meters levels change in relation to the output volume settings. This particular reel was recorded on my Nagra IV-S and as I noticed during playback the level settings (especially left and right channels) aren't calibrated exactly the same between both recorders. Probably due to age, however the sound quality is truly amazing for such a vintage machine which has had no restoration work done in my hands. The output from the A77 was captured to my Sony PCM-D1 and aligned in post.
The A77 vu meters during playback with I>II etc input modes are rerouting signal to opposite outputs. It does not represent recorded levels, only internal routing levels as adjusted by the REC level dials. The A77 was most desired by artists back then because of its tape production functions other consumer decks did not offer. D/L manual to fully appreciate what it does

I still have the A77 Mark II but speed is off and continuously contemplate fixing it but can’t rationalize
Is there someone you can take it to for repair? I was fortunate to find a good working example a few years back. They're brilliant sounding decks.
