Pictures, specs, Reel sizes, play times for the VTR in 1963 Ampex Home Entertainment Center:
http://www.labguysworld.com/Ampex_VR-1500.htm Perhaps the 1500 was factory modified to do color like the Pro version model 660 ? It would make sense given the color receiver - and big price tag. One of the most lavish consumer products of all time. |

From LabGuys article:
" RECORDING TIME a. 40 minutes for a 6-1/2 inch reel (750 feet) b. 90 minutes for an 8 inch reel (1650 feet) c. 195 minutes (3 hrs 15 min.) for a 6-1/2 inch reel (3600 feet) d. 300 minutes (5 hrs) for a 12-1/2 inch reel (5540 feet, 1 mile+)" Item c is incorrect, according to my manual the 3600 ft spool is 10-1/2 inches not 6-1/2inches. Item d is correct... the reels are indeed 12-1/2 inches not 11-1/2 as I have stated in the above posts. jr Last edited by jr_tech; 06-18-2016 at 10:06 PM. |

Ha, ha. I would like to haves one of these.
B.t.w., how much means 90 pounds in kilograms? |

90 pounds = 40.9 kg. 1 kg=2.2 lbs. An old doctor's joke in this country is that the female patients always want to be weighed in kg.
