[QuadList] Amp pull on a 1200B

[C. Park Seward]

Just a fun fact to know and tell.

I had some more circuits pulled and measured the current draw on a 1200B. At stop, no head spinning, it pulls about 7.5 amps. In rewind, 12.4. There is a hit at a little over 14 when the motors spin up.

This was on the Merlin machine. I suspect the standard Ampex Colortec, Amtec, etc would draw a bit more.

Best,
Park
