[QuadList] Quad VT List- Resurrection of an almost AVR 3--Head help needed

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, Vladimir,

Tony Korte of Video Magnetics in Colorado Springs may be able to help.

His company is the last Quad Head rebuilder.  

I've CC'd Tony so this comes to his attention more quickly.

If you have a ruler that you can put alongside the head it may help Tony determine more about the dimensions, and whether they are similar to existing heads.

If you have photos of the entire head assembly, the bottom of the mounting plate, and the transport deckplate where the head goes, it could assist with determining whether an existing Ampex assembly could be used.  Ruler in pictures would be helpful.

Hope this is helpful.

If you're likely to be attending the NAB convention in Las Vegas next month, please plan to join us for lunch on Tuesday:
