I have looked at this site often over the years- very interesting and a lot of work gone into it. I am restoring a BBC Type 2 scanner (CMCR9)- there was an item about it in Prospero recently.
Have a look at my projects on our website at www.vintageradio.co.uk/htm/tvprojects
I collect studio equipment and just found that I have a 1"VTR that is on your database- a VPR2B, marked VTR212 which was ex-OUPC at Milton Keynes. The head drum drivehas packed up but I will get around to it eventually, fortunately have all the manuals. I think it is important to keep some of these machines going for the future. I have a few 'C' format- Sony 1100, 2000, 3100. Anyone familiar with the Sony 'head drum won't get up to speed' syndrome? Keep up the good work. Steve.

Hi, prompted by the Engineering Designs Department annual lunch and assisted by John Sykes giving me the url I looked up the site, which is great.
I have a whole pile of photogrpahs from the time when I was part of VT Maintenance in the early '70s and when I was with Brian Jenkinson in VT Investigations. I'll scan them and offer them to you.
I also have a number of old Ampex manuals for hte C format machines which were about to go to the skip ...
And I note that the Convergence dit controller is not included in the electronic editing systems. I may have some pictures from when we used it for the royal wedding and on Triangle. It was used more in TV News with the Sony U-matics at the start of the ENG systems. Again, if I can find them I'll scan some pictures and send them to you.
The other coincidence I noted from the guest book was the reference to Westcountry Television. I had the fun (?) of being the project director building it in 1992.
Cheers
Stephen

Well what a nice site lots of info for us young ones(45+) must admit this is one of the sites that got me into one inch toys i know they where a pain to use day in day out but as a hobby what fun. I now have two mbr2b's all i need is a bosch portable that would do me as room is sparse. My 8 year old thinks that u-matic has a better picture than most of the new toys around(good lad)today. Thanks guys/gals keep up the good work

What a nice site. Now it could only get better if you had all those nice x-mas videos available for download. I can still recall some classics from the late 70's including camera three doing 'many strokes to the minute' plus a rather irreverent Dalek......

Brilliant site! Particularly interested because Central Area and VT/Telecine staff would frequently meet for coffee or a meal in the Canteen so we became friends with many of them. I was sad to hear of the death of Don Kershaw. He taught me how to load a Cintel machine for Andy Pandy!
