<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></FONT>Hi Ted,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the info, those fotos are great. I have seen fotos of the "Works in a Box" model from Sony, but I think CBS was too cheap to spend the extra bucks. I don't know which came first, the CBS "Works in a Drawer" or the Sony remote boxes option, but all the work on the "Works in a Drawer" mod was done at CBS, and now that you mention it it seems likely that it was a Sony thing or at least done in conjunction with Sony. I will admit it did make life a little easier although I hated every time I had to slide the drawer out and back in, I never liked bending all those wires and cables. Also sliding any of the AVR-1's drawers in and out is something I always tried to avoid. I never pulled any of the drawers out to clean them, but when I really had to, to troubleshoot something or swap a board, I then broke out the vacuum and cleaned them.<br>
</div>
<div>73,</div>

<div>I think that Sony did offer a 1100A with the electronics available to be mounted in a different place. I think that you have one of those machines. The machines were not that easy to troubleshoot with the constant going from behind to front if they were in a set of racks. They got smarter with their later series of machines.</div>

Perhaps the CBS mods were the motivation for Sony to create the version Chris mentions?

<div>There is also that South Carolina ETV BVH-1100 I hadn't seen before that is still on ebay:</div>
