the signal system, modules 14 & 15 are not the normal AutoChroma 
modules.  These are labeled Auto Equalizer, and are completely 
different in appearance from the usual modules.  They also appear to 
have an On/Off switch for "Line by Line".  Anybody familiar with these?

	There's something else you missed:  There's no URL.  I haven't been 
able to locate this auction on eBay yet.
	To answer your question, I'm not familiar with the source of the 
module, but NBC had 4 VR-2000s, each equipped with a module with this 
exact description.  I don't think they were made by Ampex.
	Here's a photo of two of the NBC machines:
