[QuadList] Want to buy a Quad

Hi, Shai,

Welcome to the QuadList. You'll find some familiar names from the AMIA- 
List here... me among them.

Can you be specific about what's in your collection?  Quantity,  
length, age(s) of tapes.

Are you planning to operate the machine yourself?

That kind of information is helpful for folks who might make  
suggestions about machines, practices, gotchas to look out for.

If you don't need to handle any low band monochrome or color, a PAL  
Ampex AVR-2 would be a good choice, if one or more can be found.

I may be able to help there, and some other folks on the list may have  
suggestions.

If you do want to go with an AVR-2, I'm representing a new board-set/ 
modification package that enables the AVR-2 to handle high-band color  
and monochrome as the factory machines did... but also low-band color  
and monochrome by flipping several switches on the cards.

Hope this is helpful.
