<DIV>Over on the oldvtrs list, someone pointed out this eBay item:
110459620505</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Several of us immediately identified them, not as quad modules, but as
VPR-7900 modules. Then another member pointed out that they were the wrong
size which caused me to take a closer look. I have just checked the actual
machines to be certain, and also checked the manuals and the Ampex part number
guide. Now, this has turned into a major mystery. Here's
what I can tell you with absolute certainty:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 1) The style of the front panels is like the 7900
series (ground jacks and board function listed at the bottom of each
module...they are upside down in the pic), but the module functions, layout and
part numbers do not match the 7900 (or 7800) series. They are also
the wrong size.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 2) The part numbers listed are all in the range of the part
numbers used for the quad machines! The part numbers for the 7900 series
was entirely different.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The seller seems quite sure that these were from a 2" quad. The
part numbers seem to indicate that could be the case. Anyone have any
ideas????? Perhaps something from special products division???? This
is extremely curious!!!</DIV>
