Hi Don, and everyone!

The Ampex XVR-7500 was 7500 with a wider output filter (trade S/N for increased BW for B & W xray's) which was built for X-ray customers like G.E., Westinghouse and such. 

Mainly used in Heart Catherization Lab procedures, and we also made a 875 line version for some folks with a slightly different capstan speed to provide slow motion sync pulse line-up with the different line rate. 
More 45 year old details if needed.

 
Bye for now, Bill & Gewyn & Ginger (whoof...whoof)

Hi Dave:
 
You'll note that this is an XVR version of the 7500.  Parts of the 
description do not make sense to me, and maybe this is different from the 
XVR-7500 that I am familiar with, but if it is a conventional XVR, it's not 
really compatible with standard Type-A tapes recorded on a regular VR-7500 or 
other Type-A machine.  Also, even if it really will play standard tapes, a 
compatible TBC (wide band direct color, not heterodyne) will be required since 
this does not include the color pilot processor that is used with the 
VR-7500C.
