	Sorry, no.  I think the VTRs in question were Type "C" machines.  I 
saw this in 1979.  The transport was angled higher than the one in your 
photos, almost vertical.  There were sheet metal panels on either side 
of the transport filling in some space in the console, making it really 
wide (like two racks wide, or maybe a little more).  It looked sort of 
like a BVH-2000 console only wider, but this was before the BVH-2000 
came out.  It MIGHT have been a BVH-1100 in a wide console.  It's 
possible that it was some kind of custom SCETV console.
