[QuadList] Ampex Models

[W4wj at aol.com]

When I was with WCIX-TV I used an 1100E in the studio and then  rolled it 
out to the Aztec motor home for on the road HBC  recording with a front 
window mounted GE PE-350.  No monitor bridge.   A very compact machine that would 
easily fit in a standard  elevator.

I was not sure of the actual count and I thought there might be 21.   The 
question was answered with all sorts of speed.  
 
The ones that I thought might be difficult were the E models of the  1100 
and the 1200.  Also the VR-3000B.
 
I did see the VR-3000B demonstrated at the Detroit SMPTE meeting as an  
alternative to 3/4 tape.  It worked beautifully.  The operating cost  must have 
been against it.  Frank Davis was at the meeting and manned the  booth.  He 
later became a VP at Belo.  
 
I know of another VR-1200 that had the detachable monitor rack.   This was 
sold to the University of Michigan Television Center.  It was  used in the 
studio and in a remote truck that only did a few shows in black  and white.  
There was a monitor setup in the truck.
 
Now were there any VR-1001B models?  The reason that I ask is  that the 
Intersync book tells about how to install the Intersync in the  VR-1001A.  Was 
it standard in the B model?  So who can answer this  question?
