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

One thing we noticed which may support David's theory is that the monitor bridge is not squared with the machine, indicating that it is no longer properly attached to the bridge support, but at least it didn't get thrown away!

    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!

  I'm putting my money on the theory that this machine was in a remote truck (converted bread van, station wagon, Winnebago etc.), the monitor bridge was removed and the audio monitor chassis had to go somewhere.
