The Ampex VR2000 represented the next generation after the VR1000. Considered a top of the line machine, it had provisions for two different video standards. It also contained a dropout compensator. It was solid state except for four 7895's in the video head, and 12 6761's in the video record amp. (The VR1100 was introduced before the VR2000, but was not as high performance as either the VR1000 or VR2000 due to it's early transistorized preamps.) (The RCA TR-70, also introduced about this time, used vacuum tube preamps.) The video head was the new mark 10, which has interchangable preamp sections, and air bearings. (A ball bearing version was also available.) All earlier machines could be easily retrofit to use the mark 10.
Weighing in at 1300 pounds, and 3 rack units wide, it was self contained, but still a monster of a machine. It never was available with an overhead console. There is one significant variation on the basic VR2000, the VR2000B. The VR2000B featured a vastly improved audio section, and was prewired for a lot more options. It also used circuit breakers rather than fuses on the system power supply.
Few of these machines are still in service. There is a VR2000B in the Quadruplex Park collection.
Omg! Orbiter 2014 is still unreleased! I'm so jay about those who actually take the trouble to get it with that complex procedure; it looks charming.:tiphat:
looking through the release notes on the day one patch for no man's sky, I realise that these guys are crazier than I thought :blink:
Reluctantly coming to the conclusion I have put petrol in my diesel-engine car...you have to laugh, don't you?

Could be worse. Could have done the opposite. :uhh:
About two weeks ago, I was coming back from London to Northumberland. Halfway up the M1, got some fuel, black-hose, black handle, check its diesel. Very slow at filling, so slow I thought
the station pump was running low. Put £20 in and decided to fill again at the next station, very slow fill again, but didn't twig(or want to), definitely diesel went in. Drove about 120 miles home, no probs.
Next morning drove to local filling station to top up, engine a bit rough, rev counter moving around about a needles width, never seen that before, went away in cruise-control. Filed up, very slow again.
Took a lot of cranking to start, never done that before, getting worried now. Went to local supermarket, wouldn't start after that, just endless cranking. Got the AA.
This is their report
" How we assisted

Its on the drive now. It will start and run, but rough, and has a smell of paraffin from the exhaust I've never noticed before.
Clincher is the miss-fuel device was triggered, and had to get the device off the battery and reset it.
In court I would be convicted on the evidence, and I have to assume I did put that £20 of petrol in, not diesel.
What to do next? Tell Stratstone everything, and wait for the bill? Keep quiet and see if it goes away?
All help appreciated.

So, where do we get the Orbiter 2014 zip file?Actually the procedure is pretty simple now. Unzip it and run. Download the DX client and run even faster.
