<DIV>This thread has taken a few turns, and there have been some references to
TR-800 machines. I think this part of the thread is referring to 1"
machines, and if so, the model is TH-800 (not TR). I tried to help find a
home for some of those monsters a few years ago. You can see a couple of
pics here:</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,new york,times,serif; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Hi
Folks,<BR><BR>I believe that they actually delivered some TR-800 machines. I
visited a production facility in either Australia or New Zealand in late 82 or
the Summer of 83. I think they had major servo problems, and after the VPR-3
was introduced at IBC 82, in Brighton England, they quit working on the
machine.<BR>I know I saw some very sad folks with 3 machines that could not be
used for even as playback machines. They asked me about the VPR-3
servos.<BR>At that time I had not shipped any VPR-3's and I had a 40M$ signed
order backlog, and the first machines went to ABC for use in Sarajevo Winter
Olympics. <BR><BR>Bill Carpenter<BR>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">With
respect to the TR800. Not exactly sure about the dates but I believe it
was initially shown prior to the BVH2000 but it didn’t work very well. I
don’t believe a single circuit is similar to the 2000. I did post final
testing (interesting concept) on these in the era that they were “sort of”
working which was after the 2000 gained market share. Even the remote
control was RS-422 but not using the Sony (or SMPTE/Ampex) protocol. Had
it actually worked when it was introduced, would have been the best feature
set machine on the market. There were a couple of fine Engineers, like
Dave Tosch, who made them work really good. There were lots of war
stories about this but we will leave that to Ted’s Type C Video Tape Group

<P class=MsoNormal>But then their 1" development didn't work out very well
either. I knew someone who had an 800 and they said the boards were copies of
