At NAB Vegas 1982, Ken Zin proudly displayed a rebuilt, mint condition VR-1000 VTR at the Merlin booth. Ken had assembled this machine from VR-1000 A, B, and C machines. It was running and fully operational on the show room floor. It is my understanding that after NAB, this machine was loaded onto a truck for a trip to The Smithsonian but it was subjected to severe damage while in transit. It's whereabouts are unknown. </div><br><div>
