Look for the control room shot. It looks like two separate 1/4" tape
machines. I wonder if they were synced?


Already answered in r.a.p.

Probably Vortexions and not synched. They had AC mains driven synchronous
motors and besides the Vortexions appear to be mono types.

Indeed, and in those days it was not uncommon to record to two machines
at once keeping one as a safety copy in case someone cocked up the editing.
