I have one Ampex headwheel case. I grabbed the case when we sold our VR1100
(I think to AF Associates) that we had at the RIT television studio. I put
the head on the machine and kept the case!

Great case. I use it to keep all my video camera accessories in it, cables,
mics, chargers and so on.

Keeping the memory alive.
