[QuadList] SCETV Consoles--did they look like these RCA

[W4wj at aol.com]

Just as an aside...  Ampex did make the VR1200E...   It was a flatdeck
VR1200 with no monitor bridge.  Very similar in  appearance to the AVR2. 
Used a 1200E at WCIX in Miami.  On  Saturdays I would roll it out of the 
building into our  Cortez motor home and go do a bowling remote...  It was 
the instant replay machine!!
 
One thing about the AVR2...  When you had a 90 loaded up  on that machine
you kept your fingers crossed when the machine rolled and the  tension arms 
almost dropped out as the tape got up to speed!!  Certainly  not a AVR-1!!

Great  photos, Sammy!
Yes, that is an Ampex AVR-2 they're using.  It's great  to see that at 
least  one place retains some artifacts of their  history.
As as aside, I might have the very machine that recorded that  "Georgia 
Educational Television Network" quad tape.  I picked up four  machines 
this spring from the University of Georgia campus in Athens that  were 
used at WGTV when the studio was there.
