The mystery photo of the week was taken exactly 30 years ago (+/- a few  
days). At NAB Vegas 1982, Ken Zin proudly displayed a rebuilt, mint condition  
VR-1000 VTR at the Merlin booth. Ken had assembled this machine from 
VR-1000  A, B, and C machines. It was running and fully operational on the show 
room  floor. It is my understanding that after NAB, this machine was loaded 
onto a  truck for a trip to The Smithsonian but it was subjected to severe 
damage  while in transit. It's whereabouts are unknown.

Hi Bill,





That's an interesting Compact Video story about  that VR-3000/VR-1000


setup. Wish I could have seen it. Unfortunately  that is not the machine


in the picture. The answer is coming tonight. It  does remind me of a


story I was told last weekend over dinner by a  friend who used to work


at WJZ channel 13 in Baltimore. He told me they  had a tape delay rig


that recorded on a VR-1000 flat top feeding tape  vertically to a


VR-1200. I would have loved to have seen that in  operation!


Well before my time, but
