UNIQUE SPECIAL ITEMS"JUST LOOKING FOR
A GOOD HOME!"
As of ''DaviSpring/Summer'' 2025, I am renewing a ''spring/summer cleaning project'' that will likely last at least through 2025 with items being added here (and removed when sold) on a regular basis. There will be a lot of old, unique electronic gear as well as parts and support items. If not sold directly through this page, items will eventually be removed and listed on eBay.

Here, below, is a link to a web page dedicated to the old Ampex workhorses where you will find a link to the photo of our old VR-1001 machine that these motors came from. I had two of them purchased from a Clerveland TV station. One was sold and the other converted to a 24 track audio recorder which was disassembled for part-out during our old facility closure back around 2013. The heads and electronics were sold separately to a buyer who already had a transport. Due to storage/time limitations I regrettably had to scrap the heavy transport frame and rack cabinet but removed the motors prior. These were all working when removed. Ampex Quad Equipment Catalog The VR1001 was a major mechanical variant on the VR 1000, in that the tape transport was vertical, but the reels were still side-by side. This configuration looked much more like machines to follow soon after. The electronics were still in a seperate rack.
If anyone is interested in these old relics, (I don't have to ''over-sell'' these ... everyone knows the ''battleship quality'' of Ampex!) ... THEY TRULY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE! ... then please make me an offer. I will leave them here exclusively for our viewers for awhile before ultimately placing them on eBay if there are no takers here.
BOOKS
I still have MANY books from my personal audio/electronics library that I just have no room to store any longer. I would like to see them go to a GOOD HOME where they will be utilized and appreciated! I don't want to leave them in storage tubs in a shed perpetually! Does anyone out there remember ... BOOKS? 😉 You might be surprised how nice it is to read/own actual print on paper than to just always view a digital screen!
These were orginally grouped in lots of 3 as listed below but I would be willing to allow ''pick and choose'' for any reasonable offer. Certainly, a bargain price would be considered for any offer for the entire lot! If you, or anyone you know, might be interested please get in touch since I would like to get these out of our storage shed as soon as possible. I will be leaving them here for our viewers first choice for as long as possible. Any reasonable offer for any quantity will be considered...just send me an email or text! MINIMUM ORDER OF ANY THREE (3) PLEASE. YOU DECIDE WHAT THEY WOULD BE WORTH TO YOU!
