<div>What a fun way to start the new year! These bring back lots of
memories. I can identify most of the hardware, but there are a few mystery
pieces. Will have to do some further searching!</div>

<div>Related to Quads however, in picture #100, there are at least 13 Ampex Proc
Amps in the racks. I’m guessing that these were simply used as proc amps
for various sources, and weren’t specifically related to VTR’s. Anyone
know? </div>
