<DIV>I have no personal experience with this, but Ampex did make a PAL-M version
of the AVR-2. If the individual is asking how to convert an existing PAL
machine to PAL-M, then according to the manual, there are 7 modules
required. #20, 28 & 30 are exclusively PAL-M. In addition,
modules #2, 12, 16 & 22 are combination NTSC/PAL-M and are also
required. Since module #12 is the modulator, if only playback is desired,
then I assume that it could be eliminated from the list.</DIV>
