[QuadList] Cap Disc now Tape Speed

[Bill Carpenter]

Hey Park, I have been enjoying this thread, and whoever said that Tim Stoffel should ask Charlie Anderson was on  the right track, since he's the only one that I know could possibly give a Ampex answer. 
As for me I have sold many 1200's, while I was product manager, but other than pressing Play or Record, I no nothing of 1200 operational tweaks. 
I remember when ABC, would reserve about 10-15 minutes for Intersync Adjustment prior to On -Air playbacks, until the Union called a strike. 
Management then learned from Ampex field engineers that less than a minute was all that was required, when you knew what you were doing, and that was usually reduced to a few seconds after you really understood what was going on! 
But. then came my AVR-2, no tweaks required and fast and stable lockup. and everybody was happy!
Bye for now, Bill Carpenter

Hi Park:

Intersync is multistandard as is the rest of the machine with the exception of Colortec.  The standard Colortec is NTSC only.  The Universal Colortec handled PAL or NTSC, but few of them were seen in the US.  Now that I think about it, I believe there were also some NTSC-only proc amps.  I haven't thought about that in a long time!
