[QuadList] VR-1100 Pics online-

After looking at the fast forward button, I now agree that the machine is probably in fast forward.

My guess is that they took a stock picture and did the pre photoshop technique to add the color picture for the ad.

The controls in the original print definitely appear to have been "touched up", and that mode would also account for all of the other discrepancies that have been noted.  Also, having photographed machines many times while operating in various modes, I don't think you could get that look on the reels in play mode no matter how long the exposure.

There is tape on the machine because of the position of the tension arms.  A long exposure time would blur the reels.  Thus we can not determine if it is in a wind mode.
