<DIV>Hi Norman:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, that was the stock color. I have several of these in
storage. In person, it’s not quite the same as the RCA color, but it is
similar.</DIV>

<DIV class=y_msg_container><BR>Hi Chris:<BR><BR>Nope. Different seller and
different location.<BR><BR>The electronic timer I'm referring to is the system
control timer, not the <BR>tape timer. You are certainly correct about the
tape timer. However, if <BR>you look at the system control chassis, you'll
see the mechanical version <BR>which was used on the VR-1000. The 1100 was
apparently rushed to production <BR>from all of the accounts that I've heard,
due to RCA's introduction of the <BR>TR-22. In fact, the earliest
marketing picture from Ampex for the VR-1100 <BR>still has a tube type audio
system. That was quickly replaced, I believe <BR>before any units were
actually delivered. The mechanical system control <BR>timer must have also
been replaced fairly quickly since the first edition of <BR>the manual includes
the solid state timer, but this machine obviously still <BR>has the mechanical
version.<BR><BR>Don Norwood<BR>Digitrak Communications,

AM<BR><BR>This is the same one. I believe The seller is the same
person. It does not <BR>have an air system. The machine looks like pieces
were removed at one point. <BR>Notice the proc amp is just sitting there with no
screws. The rear shows <BR>cables disconnected from a number of
places The machine is in Louisville <BR>Kentucky and I may be in the area
next month but it would not even be worth <BR>a stop. Lastly, mechanical
timers were sold on all VR machines except for <BR>the option on the 1200 C
. Al the electronic timers that I have seen were <BR>after
market.<BR><BR>Chris
