<p class=MsoNormal>Hi group:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was touring a TV station today in Kentucky and noticed they
had some Quad tapes in their collection. I asked if they still had their
Quad machine and I was told yes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
We’ll not one to let a good opportunity pass by, I asked if I could see
it. I was told it was on the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor. We’ll I
figured storage…turns out the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor is all the air
handling equipment for the whole station.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I want to help prevent older tape equipment from ending up
in the dumpster, so I told the person I was with that if they even think of
discarding this machine, call me first. The station manager wants to see
if it is possible to get this up and running again. Might be an
interesting challenge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Got to say, it is a neat looking machine. I was hoping
it was an AVR-1, 2 or 3…but it wasn’t. No idea if the station
has extra parts or not.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here are two pictures…any idea what machine this
is? The name plate on the front says Ampex Corporation, but there was no
identifying numbers. The machine is in a very dark area (sorry for the
low quality of the pictures…I took them w/ my cell phone with almost no
ambient light). It appears to me as if there are tubes in the upper left
of the bridge…but the rest of the bridge is empty. The tray w/ the
cards seems to be complete, but I could not see the back of the machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks;<o:p></o:p></p>
