<DIV>Ted:<BR><BR>I didn't see anyone else answer your question, so......
IVC 900 series is the answer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And this fits into the discussion about IVC vs Ampex. The 900 series
was more advanced than the 800 & 700 series, and was more on a level with
the VPR-7900 series. When comparing the "formats", you have to be careful
to compare both the format itself and the particular machine model being
used.</DIV>

<DIV>The tape was sold two reels per carton at $213 per reel in 1970. An
empty reel was $17.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Clue: The same machine would play reels of 361-1-1075-R139B
and 361-1-2150-R139B if they were recorded on other machines that used
the same format. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>These smaller reels were $34.55 and $45.30 per reel in cartons of
five.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
