[QuadList] VR-1100 on eBay

[John M]

I used an 1100 in the early 70's - lo band 625 mono. Very basic, had
intersync and Amtec though, no playback eq etc etc, would only consider it a
viewing machine.

Seems to be a lot of optimism out there.

style of the reel locks.  It has not been updated with Intersync.  The front
doors are in place, so can't tell if it has any options useful in other VR
series machines.

"Rare" does not equal "valuable" in this instance!
