<DIV>Hi, Guy, and list,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In looking for something else (529 waveform monitor) ran across this
document from former Ampex guy Chuck Colby's website.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This outlines an Ampex-built series of remote trucks with VR-1100's in
them. Caused me to wonder whether the Army LBM tape Guy featured in his
recent TR-70 post might have been recorded in one of these vans.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Chuck's resume notes several built under his supervision while at Ampex
from 1966-77. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>He also had something to do with pairing the VR-3000B with the Ampex
TBC-900 for a portable broadcast system:</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Anyone have a TBC-900?</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I've seen some of his work near me... in the original Ampex turnkey
installation for Sacramento's channel 31, then called KMUV-TV, which featured
movies all day in its initial incarnation.</DIV>

Note the 1200's in the first picture.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What I don't remember seeing when I first visited (after it went into
bankruptcy a few years later) are the pair of </DIV>
<DIV>Type A machines in the background of this photo:</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd guess these were fully decked out VR-7900's? Wonder where they
went.</DIV>
