Finally, it’s alive! The Ampex VR-7100 is now running really well. Since this machine is extremely rare and hard to find, I should rather go with the VCR such as VHS and Betamax. This one was an engineering nightmare to fix. Now let’s do the VP-4900.

My late Father would say on a job: difficult will have it tomorrow, impossible give me more time. Rick you did the impossible… Great job!!

i'm thoroughly impressed here!

Congratulations!! Very nice!

This is excellent news (mostly)! Another step closer to showing off a bit of those other tapes of that type.
