Hi Ed:
 
I've had several first-hand reports recently about the state of the LOC  
operation and what they are (or are not) doing.  Given the magnitude of  the 
quad transfer work that exists, there's little evidence of any serious  
attempt to get the job done.  They apparently do not have the technical  
expertise to repair and maintain the machines they have which include a  large 
number of quads that have been donated and are simply collecting  dust.  Under 
these circumstances, it's hard to imagine what they would do  with an AVR-1.  
I hope my assessment is wrong, and I'd very much  welcome any news that 
indicates otherwise.

Hi Guys,
 
About a year ago, James O'Neal of  Television Technology contacted me.  
He wanted to know if I knew of an Ampex  AVR-1 that could be directed to 
the LOC.
He was suggesting to them that  they should have an AVR- 1 in their 
restoration stable. 
 
I am truly surprised that the LOC is  using 2000's instead of the much 
better performing AVR-1.
Can we work together to get an AVR-1 to  them?
