[QuadList] Is there a working Ampex ACR 25 in existence?

[Bill Carpenter]

There was an AVR-1 accessory, which allowed you to prepare commercials on the AVR-1 and then load the spool into the cartridge, to use it in the ACR-25.
I was product manager of the ACR-25 for about 4 months in 1976.
I will check if any are still running in OZ.

Ted,
Larry Oldham made an adapter to play the carts on a standard Quad. No taking the tape out of the cart.
But I would like to have one cart if it can be spared.

I never know what questions I may be asked. 

In the course of discussing something with a customer this week, the conversation took a bit different turn when they mentioned they had a collection of ACR 25 cartridges containing station interstitials, commercials, and other short items they would ultimately like to archive as digital files.

I think the number mentioned was 200. 

Which would make finding a working ACR 25 a more practical way of digitizing these items.

Does anyone on the list have a working impacts ACR-25 quad cartridge machine?

You can let me know on or off list! 

Hope whatever you're doing you are staying cool and/or dry and you're not being blown around by the wind or weather.
