Ted:

I didn't see anyone else answer your question, so......  IVC 900 series is the answer.

And this fits into the discussion about IVC vs Ampex.  The 900 series was more advanced than the 800 & 700 series, and was more on a level with the VPR-7900 series.  When comparing the "formats", you have to be careful to compare both the format itself and the particular machine model being used.

  Trivia question:  Can anyone tell what machine a 12.5" reel of Scotch 361-1-7500-VRB was used on?


    The tape was sold two reels per carton at $213 per reel in 1970. An empty reel was $17.


    Clue:  The same machine would play reels of 361-1-1075-R139B and 361-1-2150-R139B if they were recorded on other machines that used the same format. 


    These smaller reels were $34.55 and $45.30 per reel in cartons of five.
