<DIV>I think it's interesting that on these TR-70 binders, RCA was
still using the TRT-1 graphics on the cover. The TR-70 manuals I have are
in newer red binders, so I hadn't seen (or don't remember!) the older
version. Early Ampex manuals had VR-1000 graphics on the binders, but I
don't think they ever used them on manuals for newer models.</DIV>

may be one of the last who will admit to using TEP in daily production. Ours
was even mixed with EECO timecode. The source machines would cue to time code
