<DIV>There are a couple of issues with this machine. It is an early B
model There cue track is missing one of the cards. The 3M DOC is not
the last version manufactured. It is missing the test module that allowed
you to set it up with out a special tape. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Intersync looks like a version before the last ones made. The
meter panel is missing the H Phase and Tach Phase positions. There are two
modules that are out of another machine. This could be a potential problem
if there were different versions of the modules in the two versions of the
Intersync. I would have to pull out some manuals.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It does have VHO so that is good. The DG module should be an Ampex
one as that was a requirement for VHO. Almost 6000 hours but still looks
in decent shape. I would be interested to see how the tape path surfaces
are worn. The pinch roller really needs replacement. It has so much
shine. My guess is that this machine was made about 1970 or 71.
Later additions were the VHO, DG, and the auto EQ. Any guesses by
others?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Interesting that the On Off knob for the Vel Comp and the centering knob
for the AMTEC are removed. I also noticed that the record sync selector
was in EXTERNAL. Also the playback was in PRESET on the control
panel. Very non standard. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>South Carolina ETV always had good performance and that may be why the
machine still looks so good. Most look like they have been run to the
ground. This one does not.</DIV>
