<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I think this must have been done
very early in the days of A.F.A, since Arnold started the business by rewiring
some quads which required new harnesses, to replace ones that were cut during
union problems. I remember that it may have been a TR-70 that he rebuilt. The
AVR-2 was introduced at NAB1974, in Huston, Tx, and later that year, Lou
Siricasano, who was a Ampex salesman in the Mid Atlantic area and I hitched a
U-Haul trailer to his company car and did some demo's at stations on the way to
a SBE show in Pittsberg. It was the first time they ever had a Quad at
this show. <br>
A short time later, Lou joined Arnold and that's when things really took off
for A.F. Assoc.<br>
These were very interesting times in the Quad world!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>There actually was an Ampex model
VR-1200/E. There was also a VR-1100/E. You can see brochures for
them in the literature section of my website: <a

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Obviously, I don't know what
machine was used to record the aircraft video, but there are some Ampex
publications showing VR-1100's in that service. There is also
documentation of them using VR-660's for the same application, and when I first
started reading your story, I thought maybe that's what the tapes would turn out
to be. By the way, the noise of the BB headwheels varied considerably
from one head to another. I have a couple of them that sound
essentially the same as air bearing, and then some that don't! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'>I ran into one neat machine. It is an
Ampex 1200-E with the flat deck. It belonged to Charlie (Chubby)
Salvato from Orange County, NY. It was put together by AF Assoc.
They installed Volvo motor mounts on it with wheels so it could be rolled
anywhere with just your fingertips. It also had no Amtec, Colortec, Proc,
etc. They put in a CVS Digital TBC, I don't remember the number, but it
had a "16" in it (I think). CVS had a mod for it to work with
Quads, it was a board which had to be installed in it. I remember taking
it to CVS to have it done for Chubby.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'>This was done around the time the AVR-2 came out. Ampex
propaganda had fotos of 2 people picking up the top deck then the TBC bay and
showing how easy it was to move. Chubby bragged how easy this machine is to
move. A cavewoman could do it alone. He brought it to my home from time
to time so I could tweak the servo, etc. We just rolled it in and out of
his van easily. That was the only time I had a Quad in my garage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'>Another interesting thing, sometime in the 80's, my Navy Reserve
unit was having a triple Retirement and Change of Command. I was given
the job of getting it done. I was able to get the "Intrepid"
in NYC for the ceremony. While schmoozing the museum curator
we came across a room full of 2" video tapes. He told me they were
recordings of flight ops. while she was in commission. (One of
the early uses of video tape was recording flight ops on carriers so the pilots
could watch their landings, and they still do.) Also that he wanted to get them
dubbed to U-Matic as he wanted to use them in displays around the
ship. (The machines they were recorded on were gone.) I forgot all
about the first thing I learned in the Navy, "Never "Volunteer"
and I offered to help him out. I also forgot how heavy a 2" reel of
tape can be after carrying them about a mile, from the Intrepid to CBS, and
back but I needed the exercise. I thought I was in deep trouble with the first
reel. I found they were recorded at 7.5 IPS. Would you believe
we also found some 5 Mil heads on the ship which were in good shape. I
put one on the Quad near my shop and had good luck with it. The
only problem is they were ball bearing heads and made about 10 DB more
noise than the air bearing heads do and I was trying to do this whole job
un-noticed. Fortunately the maint. manager at time was interested in WWII
planes as his father worked for Grumman designing some of them and let me get
away with it for the small price of VHS copies of some of the tapes. The
tapes were fabulous. I managed to do about 50 reels for him. I don't know what
model VTR they were made on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
