[QuadList] Ampex VR-1200 on ebay-in Apalachin, NY

[Don Norwood]

Hello Guy:

Check out the thread on the old VTR's list.  There's a likely answer to why 
this was done, but as far as the particularly odd placement of the monitor 
chassis, it could relate to the wiring harness.  I'm not sure the signal 
system could easily be moved down enough to put the monitor at the top of 
the bay, but there's some slack in the servo wiring.  However, putting it 
where they did effectively blocks the airflow thru that entire side. 
Probably not a good thing!

Don
