[QuadList] VR 3000 on eBay

[Don Norwood]

The 7.8 kHz connection is present (but unused) on the NTSC VR-3000's that I 
have.

Other observations.....

1) The AMPEX cover plate on the top of the transport is often missing but is 
present on this machine.  It covers servo adjustments, and so was frequently 
left off.

2)  The date on the inspection sticker is '76 which makes it a very late 
production unit, just before the "B" version.

3)  There is a 7.5/15 speed switch.  I've not seen a dual speed before.  Now 
I'm going to have to check the catalogs for the machines and the heads.  I 
never noticed that as an option.

4)  There's a major modification with the multi-pin connector added to the 
rear corner.

5)  The capstan motor appears to have taken a serious hit to its rear cover

6)  No battery or power supply installed

7)  And of course, as others pointed out, no case.  LOTS of potential for 
damage to the underside.
