Good video, great machine. Brings it all back. We had 14 at Molinare! Tip - try adjusting the "sch" control on the front panel, its way out! You might avoid a flash or shift during playback.

Sorry, what is "sch" control on the front panel ?

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. It give me an energy to create another demo videos of intems that i have in my collection. (VO-2850, BVH-200, BVH-2000, Marconi Mark VIII - three plumbicon color camera, black and white TESLA Superorthicon camera from 1960's) For user hdvs: side cover panels are original. This VPR3 was used as a stand alone machine. Please give me your email, I will send you some photos.

This VPR3 run with sofware version 6.2, but some chips are labeled version 3.2 (I have downloaded all the eproms from VPR3 on PC ). AMPEX TBC-6 is used. Iam looking for service manual of this TBC. Haven't you?
