Update after a long break. Jon Collis from the Kaleidoscope project came over today with a Sony CV2100 VTR and some 405 tapes. The waveforms were grim and replay wasn't entirely reliable on a good 405 monitor. The latest iteration of my 405 to 625 converter worked as well as the monitor. Better in fact, since the output syncs are 100% guaranteed steady even if the picture breaks up. The changes I made to make the field sync separator more rugged really work in practice.
Should work with 405 on any VTR format with the possible exception of CV2000. People recorded 405 on all sorts of things from Shibaden 700 to VHS.
The CV2000 was a 405-only VTR that used a crude skip-field recording system. I have no idea how that would be tolerated but only one way to find out.
PS: A DICE will be on display at the BECG open days on 9/10 September. I don't think it will be working but it's an impressive beast. The framestore used over 4000 chips on nearly 100 cards.
