So, what does "TRT" stand for? Tape Recorder Television?
Television Recorder Tape (versus "film")?<br><br>

Several words of caution here.......<br><br>
First of all, the TRT headwheel pictured is a 5 mil, ball bearing
assembly according to the part number. Also from the writing on the
sticker, I'd assume that it is down to 1.2 mils of tip, so it would
appear to be a worn out head for 7-1/2 IPS with ball bearings.
That's fine for display purposes, but probably the least desirable head
available otherwise. Also, FWIW, this has been listed before with
no buyers. I don't remember what he was asking last time.<br><br>
I didn't find his listings for the other items that you mentioned, but a
Mark X head does not fit any of the AVR series of machines, so either it
is something else or if it is a Mark X, it fits the VR-1100/1200/2000
(with the appropriate preamp module). I'd be amazed if he gets
anything close to that price unless it is an unused refurb 10
mil. The Mark XV looks like the Mark X, so it could be that,
in which case it fits the AVR-2 or 3. The AVR-1 requires a Mark
XX.<br><br>

I found this on E Bay. It appears to be for the TRT series.
I noticed that<br>
the original case is available. The price for Buy it Now is
$250. There<br>
have been two offers of less when I last looked.<br><br>
There is also a Ampex Mark 10 with out the pre-amp that the guy claims
is<br>
complete and is for an AVR series. He wants $2500 for it. There
was also an<br>
refurbished VR-2000 audio stack available.<br><br>
