Hi Ted:

We certainly didn't worry too much back then about OSHA type problems,  but 
I couldn't help but notice the right hand VR-1100 was parked directly in  
front of the fire extinguisher sign!

And what I thought was a Smith splicer in the back corner isn't.  Looks 
like a clear plastic envelope with an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper  in it... similar 
to what licenses were slid into near transmission gear.  And it seems to be 
near some transmission gear.

And dig the Conrac 9"ers just parked without cases on top of the  1100's. 
OSHA would have a s--- fit about the potential shock hazard and  danger from 
CRT implosion.

Thanks for the pictures, Park.  Please post more if you have  them.

Hi Chris:

Also a second head case on the floor under the table  in front of the 
1100's. 

The 1100's are a mid-production version......they have  the old style reel 
hub clamps, but are new enough to have the Mark X  headwheel and the 
associated trimpot chassis which was not part of the  original version.  I agree 
the machine on the left has no Amtec,  but the machine on the right appears to 
have Amtec, but no proc  amp.  Hard to tell what was going on there!

And both of them are the ones with out an Intersync or any time  base 
correctors.  Also you can see the IVC machines to the  left.  RCA TK-22 Black and 
White camera. 

Now what are those things that look like power supplies doing on  the 
table?  Along with a Ampex head case.  Which machine was  in trouble?

Wow Ted.  I had to blow up the pic and brighten it a bit  , but indeed you 
are correct.  The Ampex quad in the back is  a VR-1100.

Cool pix, Park.

I will ask what happened to the AVR-1 from Ramstein. This  pic is from  
1975.

Looks like IVC Blue (900 series) next to the AVR-1's Ampex  Gray.  

In the back corner, it looks like the microscope eyepiece  of a Smith 
Splicer sticking out from between the racks and just  to the right of that, a 
second generation Ampex Quad peeking out  from behind a film island camera.

Interesting way of staging Quad tapes.  Seems like  "we're marking 
territory, here."

Thanks for the pic and background.
