<DIV>Here's a question and a "special offer"..........</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>David mentions Merlin. They offered as one of their upgrades, a
separate power supply for the Intersync. The mod consists of an OEM +/-12
volt supply from HP which is mounted in the rear of the machine and removes the
servo system from the machine's power supply. I have a 1200 with this mod,
and it certainly works OK, but I can't tell that there's really any difference
in stability of the Intersync. Does anyone know what specific problem
this upgrade was supposed to address?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now the special offer........you can't get Merlin tweakers anymore, but
a few years ago, another collector and I bought an assortment of Ampex
parts which included some official Ampex tweakers! These are very nice
blue Spectrol tweakers imprinted with the Ampex Op Center 800 number. If
you'd like a couple of them, send me your mail address and I'll send them to you
for the cost of mailing and a padded envelope. WARNING: May cause
unpredictable results if used to adjust equipment not manufactured by
Ampex!</DIV>

the countless Xcelite green screwdrivers I <BR>either wore out or lost under
the machine while doing said alignment!<BR>I always said back then that
Ampex should have supplied knee pads in the <BR>1200/2000 service
kits.<BR>Guy<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>Well, this was one of the reasons to
visit NAB: Go find the Merlin booth and get a Merlin Tweaker (for those
Intersync recessed adjustments i.e. discriminator). Better yet, make multiple
passes at the Merlin booth for a years supply...Also would come in handy on
the VR 2000A model audio circuit boards (the VR2000B had pots with knobs
attached).<BR><BR><BR>David Crosthwait<BR>DC Video <BR>Archive Videotape
