[QuadList] AVR-2 on eBay

[Bill Carpenter]

HI Chris,

Yes, that machine would have been built in 1975, since to my memory we shipped around 250 machines by NAB 1975. 

We were building and shipping around 30/month. The electronic tape counter was produced in 1976/1977 as I remember.

Bill Carpenter ( Ampex product manager @ AVR-2 introduction and for many years.)

The serial number is low, 352.  It looks like they updated it with the 
digital timer.  If you will note, it does not have the circuit breaker 
kit.  One would want to consider a couple of field mod upgrades to it but 
it does look in good shape from the photos.  It should be in the range 
where the design was fairly stable.
