VR-8000

[Don Norwood]

Hi Chris

Just checking to be sure you saw my reply to the list on Jan 3rd.  I ask partly because I never received Bill Carpenter's post which I just found in the archives when I looked to see if my message ever made it to the list.  As you probably know, not all posts make it to the list, so I never know if mine will show up or not.  Anyway, this is copied directly to you too.

I still have not looked for the pictures that I described in that post, but I'll try to locate them soon.  Meanwhile, here's a combination shot of the 1100 publicity picture and the 8000 from the museum, showing what I described in the earlier post about the tube audio which was changed prior to production.

No one came up with the answer.

It was a 2 inch helical scan machine the size of a VR-1100. I believe it was shown at the 1961 show.   The machine is promoted in the October 1961 issue of Ampex Head Lines.  It used a single head and what looks like he same wrap as a type C or A format.

As far as I know it never made production or was sold.
