I've built up over the past years with components from all 3 versions 
of the 1200.  The main "body" is a 1200, but the signal system is from 
a 'B' and the servo is from a 'C', and there are some other mods as 
well.  As you noted, it does have Velcomp, and the DOC is a Merlin 
ME-188A instead of the Ampex DOC.  The restoration of this machine was 
aimed more at being good than being 100% authentic, but it is an all 
Ampex machine except for the DOC.

	I'd classify that as a true archiving machine then.  Makes the best 
pictures from good source material.  I'll send all my quad tape to be 
archived to you from now on.    ;)      (If I had any!)
