The IBC (International Broadcast Center) was all 1200's and at ABC who worked as the host broadcaster, had many also.These were the first VR-1200's built in Colorado Springs.<br>I shared an Apt with Al Trost (father of the VR-1200, AVR-2, VPR-20, and the VPR-3) since he was in Mexico to be sure all these machines worked properly.<br><br>This was 3 weeks before the opening day, and I spent 5 days checking out the VR-7800, and working with the Mexican network who were testing non-phased color for on-air use in small markets.<br><br>I then returned on the Olympic opening day(a Saturday) with a second complete VR-7800, super tweaked (by me) to support ABS-CBN of the Philippines, who were using the VR-7800's to cover
their Wrestlers and send tapes back by air each day. <br>This was my first Olympic support effort, which continued through 1984 in LA.<br><div> </div><div>Bye for now, love to all, Bill & Gewyn & Ginger (whoof...whoof)<br></div> <div style="font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif; font-size: 24pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Don Norwood <dwnorwood@embarqmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Quad List <quadlist@quadvideotapegroup.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, May 6, 2013 2:46 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [QuadList] Ampex Readout Volume 8-Number 2- Part 1

<div>However, someone (marketing?) has taken a bit of liberty with
the Convention story. If you look at the picture on page 5 that is
captioned "One of three dual VR-2000 equipped recorder stations.....", you'll
see that the machines in the picture are VR-1200 sidecar machines, <b>not
VR-3000's</b>. There are several very distinct differences in the
machines that make them easy to identify.</div>
