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

[Don Norwood]

David:

I've heard the same VR-1199 number applied to upgraded 1100's.  I think I may have a "VR-1175", as it only has part of the upgrades!  But obviously, none of these numbers are official Ampex numbers.  The part numbers are stamped into the foil labels, so I guess it's possible that the numbers could have been transposed.  Would that make it an extremely rare collector's item, worth many extra thousands of dollars?????

  "Reasserts that the model is a VR-2100. ???" Well maybe they "created" that model number after their "rearranging" of electronics. 

  I recall at KTLA years ago seeing what they called Ampex "1199's", which I think were jeeped up 1100's with 1200 electronics. I may be off about the model number, but it was not a standard Ampex catalog item. I think the engineers there created the term after their ingenuity.
