<DIV><STRONG>I had several off-list replies regarding this, and I can't be
certain of exactly what was or was not introduced in '62. The info that
I'm using is from the after-convention issue of Broadcast Engineering in May of
'62. According to that publication, the new accessory for RCA was a
1/2-speed kit to allow operation at 7-1/2ips. For Ampex it was a "greatly
simplified and improved" Intersync. The full text is below. Note
that no mention is made of solid state, so was this an improved version of the
tube-type Intersync? If so, was the solid state version available
prior to the VR-2000? </STRONG> </DIV>
