Wow, great restoration! How old is the machine? And where did you get it?
-
Very clean :)
-
Is it ok to soak metal parts in water? Should be no prob with aluminium parts (e.g. the reel hubs), but on the coated panels that would otherwise be subject to corrosion there are always exposed patches where the paint has chipped off. Not sure if that causes probs down the road...
The hubs appear to be aluminium, so no probs there I guess.

Loved watching this.

You have done a great job of chronicling the restoration of this machine.
The Ampex VR-1200 and VR-2000 are my favorite quad VTRs.

Thanks. These machines were made in the early 60s. I bought four of them from the estate of a TV station engineer.

Water doesn't cause corrosion. It's the oxygen in the air that will corrode a damp part. As long as the part is dry after cleaning, no problems. I sometimes use alcohol to drive the water out.

Mine too. They should be easy to maintain. Playback pictures look great!
