Look at Mikey405's site. www.oldtechnology.net .

These things are quite rare and often work extremely well. Have you tried it?

Cheers,

Hi Steve, yes it still works well, came complete with tape, its the colour version too i understand they made a b/w model.....regards Alan.

Hi Alan and Steve.

Sorry - I think I just "Reported" this post instead of replying to it...

Anyway, they did do a B/W model - although it was exactly the same set minus the colour-under card (which you could just slot in).

From Mike.

Its hard to believe these were cutting edge technology not so very long ago. Its a cool looking machine.

Best thing, weight wise it makes an AR88 feel like a pocket tranny......Regards......Alan.

It's one of the IVC 1" machines from the late 1960s or 1970s. Omega wrap, as against the alpha wrap of the rival Ampex 5000 and 7000 series. BOth IVC and Ampex 1" machines could give first rate results. The Ampex later formed the basis of the broadcast C format VTRs which reigned supreme for many years. The IVC disappeared without trace except for a few enthusiasts.
