Ampex training on the operation of the VR-2000 2″ Quad VTR, part 1
If you find a similar training piece for a VR-1200, please let me know. I have two of them that I plan to get working. I used to run them at stations I worked at when I was in college, but that was a very long time ago… And yes, one of those stations required that you wear a jacket and tie at work. Times certainly have changed.
It is interesting that they shot this on film, not video tape….
It’s amazing they ever worked.
You know I don’t think I ever wore a suit and tie while operating a quad!
(hearted!!)
