[QuadList] Another Weekend Quiz 04/01/11

[Don Norwood]

Sorry Chris, still only 1/3 correct.  I may have to give myself a prize for stumping you two weeks in a row!  Still early in the weekend though, so I'm expecting somebody to have the right answer before it's over.

  I have given this a great deal of thought.  I have studied the literature.  I can not find this in any brochure for an AVR series.  Nor a 1100, 1200, or 2000.  So that leaves only the early machines.

  I have never seen this in an Ampex machine but the TRT had it.  A delay line to adjust for the quadrature errors in manufacturing of a head wheel panel.  The delay line was set playing back an alignment tape then setting the delay or advance to get the demod out to look straight lines vertically between the head passes.  (Advance was actually less delay than the center position of the delay line.)  There were four sets of controls.  One for each head channel.  The RCA machines that were prior to the TR-70 also had this feature.  After you set these, you did the compliment on the record delays.  It worked out very nicely.  

  ATC, AMTEC and better manufacturing took care of this.

  So 

  Ampex
  Delay setting
  Unknown model
