<DIV>Spent many an evening looking after an AMPEX UHF XMTR (originally a
Townsend). AMPEX did not keep the XMTR line for long, IIRC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An AMPEX VTR salesman once told me there was a segment of the market
(think middle eastern) that would not buy anything from RCA. This created an
opportunity for GE and AMPEX, I suppose.</DIV>

<DIV>Ampex tried to become an RCA in its ability to supply a complete
station. Was not the transmitter made by Townsend? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They sold just about everything. It was one of the things that led
to a crisis and downsizing.</DIV>
