<DIV>I had a RA-4000 and it is a great editor. It only plugs into an AVR-1
and ACR-25. There were interfaces required for the VR-1200 and
VR-2000. These were mounted in the back. The machine did not
have the bandwidth for SMPTE time code so there was a small pre-amp mounted
behind the audio stacks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The AVR-2 also required an interface. I do not know about the
AVR-3.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The unit is a reliable editor and was faster than many other ones.
just did not have a way to store the edit decisions.</DIV>

<P>Sorry for the re-post I had submitted this under another email address
earlier.</P>
<P><BR>I have an Ampex RA-4000 Edit Controller for Quad VTRs. I have
offered to donate it to the Preservation Facility at the Library of Congress,
but I have not heard back from them as to whether they want it or not. I
must get rid of it by next week, is there anyone on the list that is
interested in it? The price is FREE, you just need to pick it up.
I am in the Washington, DC area. I have the manuals including
schematics. It controls VR-1200 and VR-2000 decks with an interface, and
I believe plugs directly into the AVR series VTRs. The serial number is
2 as this one was the demo unit on the NAB show floor in 1964. The first
unit was purchased by the BBC and this one went to WFAA in Dallas. See photos
(attached). I have more closeup photos if someone is interested.
Thank you.</P></DIV><BR><BR>Please trim posts to relevant info when
