[QuadList] Training the Third Generation (wasHappyAnniversary--)

[Videomagnetics]

Ted,
FYI  the most popular head we refurbish is indeed the MK-XV for the AVR-2 and 3. The AVR-2 is a work horse and in my opinion was and is  more reliable than the VR2000/1200 as far as breaking down. Sure it is because of the AGE factor. We have customers that are still running all types of Ampex and RCA VTR's but the AVR 2 is more popular.

  Hi, Don, 


  I haven't done a survey... and could stand to be corrected.  A show of hands about machines in use would be helpful.


  My understanding is that Ampex made more of them than any other Quad Ampex made.  I'm not where I can go find my source for that at the moment... but will look.


  Perhaps Bill Carpenter can assist as he was instrumental in marketing AVR-2's and could shed light on the quantity produced compared to other Ampex and possibly RCA machines.


  Meantime, into the rig and head for Winston-Salem, NC to overnight and demo in the morning.


  Ted.

    Not doubting that this could be the case, but curious how you established that the AVR-2 is the most common machine still in use.

      If you want to help with training, send me an e-mail off-list.  There is a move to provide this sort of training, beginning with AVR-2's as they are the most common Quad at this point.
