[QuadList] Fwd: In Search Of a Classic Quad Machine for display

[WVGO]

Hi Larry...
Would this be a "permanent" display that would become the property of  
CEI or  are you looking for a  "loaner"?
I have a couple of complete AVR-2s that I'm not currently using, but  I 
don't want to give up the possibility of using them in the future in 
case Ampex heads eventually become the only ones available or 
rebuildable.  I currently have a TR-70 online for transfers and another 
TR-70 soon to join that one.  I have many more spare head assemblies for 
the RCAs at this point, so I have no immediate need for the AVR-2s.
