Did you read the line "they are housed in attractive walnut grained cabinets"? Was this to match the coffee tables and other fine wood furniture usually not found in the tape rooms of the past? The only other Ampex 2" product that I can think of with any wood finish resemblance is the AVR-1 side panels. Definitely not for the living room in most homes.<BR>

David's brochure was very early in the 1200 era, and what is pictured is only the 1100 version. The key is the control panel which is easily differentiated between the two, and the 1200E also had a different head cover. Also note that the pic in the van shows an even earlier version of the 1100 with the original style front covers which were updated to the newer style doors on the brochure machine.<BR>

I'm fairly certain that David's 2nd suggestion that the options are for the 1100E and not 1200E is correct, and that the 1200 was fully equipped. ---Somewhere--- I have some additional literature on these two "E" models, the trick may be finding it! For now, here's a pic of the 1200E for your reference that I pulled out some time ago. It's part of a photo collection that I hope to have on-line before too long.<BR>
