Ultrafurb Merlin Ampex 1200. This is the first playback. More work needs to be done but it looks promising. The tape was one I bought with the machine and was made in Oregon.

  • The 1200B would run at 7.5 ips with a different video head. A 5 mil head.

  • Thanks. Nothing like a 747 but easier to "fly".

  • @billbabin my chief engineer scrapped it ! for scrap metal money just a month ago

    i think i saved a rebuilt head for a 1200

  • Where did the 1200 go?

    Yes, I got the machines from the estate of an engineer who worked at KIMA.

  • Hi love the machine! But your dub reel is from KIMA TV in Washington I used to run commercials off 1200's and tr-50's all the way up to 1999 at KEPR TV KIMA'S sister station I still have Dub reels here at work :) We just got rid of our last 1200 and vpr2bs :( to make way for a new control room

  • What that one of those 7.5 ips mods?

  • Nice 'quad' machine you've got there!
