<DIV>I have given this a great deal of thought. I have studied the
literature. I can not find this in any brochure for an AVR series.
Nor a 1100, 1200, or 2000. So that leaves only the early machines.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have never seen this in an Ampex machine but the TRT had it. A
delay line to adjust for the quadrature errors in manufacturing of a head wheel
panel. The delay line was set playing back an alignment tape then setting
the delay or advance to get the demod out to look straight lines vertically
between the head passes. (Advance was actually less delay than the center
position of the delay line.) There were four sets of controls. One
for each head channel. The RCA machines that were prior to the TR-70 also
had this feature. After you set these, you did the compliment on the
record delays. It worked out very nicely. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ATC, AMTEC and better manufacturing took care of this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ampex</DIV>
<DIV>Delay setting</DIV>
<DIV>Unknown model</DIV>

<DIV>OK</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This helps a bit. I remember that there was an editor for the
VR-1000 series machines. And there was an Editec version. So we
are going to go with that as the product and say it is Ampex, The first
Editec that was in a 2 or 3 RU chassis and the plus or minus frame setting
knob.</DIV>
