ME-68<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>It was designed as
an very modern advance tape recorder. Servo tension system, the tape follow
arms are not just mechanical dampers, the follow arms are electronic sensors
for the tape reel servo! Richard (Dick.. do not remember his last
name) work for Merlin in the early years and came from Ampex Instrument Div.
He is the Engineer that design the servos (Reel, Drum and
Capstan)<BR>for the Merlin ME-68. I also think that he design the remote
system also.<BR>AL Sturm design the signal system with VHO, multi-standard,
hi-band, low band color, low band B/w. Al, I think may still have a
manual.<BR>Regards,<BR>Ken Zin<BR></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>He advised after checking that he doesn't have a manual.</DIV>
