<DIV>Hi Ted:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

and edification.<BR><BR>Look for the 1100E/1200E with overbridge installed in
the Microbus on <BR>page 2. There's room for a power meter panel by
the sliding door. <BR>Nice looking install. Wonder how the VW
handled with 550 pounds at <BR>the very back?<BR><BR>Thanks,

very basic record and playback only (one meant for <BR>black and white,
