Hi I do not know what make the recorders were Pete, but I would certainly wager the guess that a late-eighties VHS hifi deck would DEFINITELY better pro-studio-tapegear of the sixties and seventies in terms of Signal to noise ratio and wow&flutter. A lot of course depends on tape formulation of the masters too but the helical scanned VHS system did improve notably in many areas as you have noted above. Nothing to scoff at IMO....I have very good results even with a mediocre deck.
