[Big Ideas]

Thanks for the history reminder. Ampex taught me how to be a good engineer. I missed most of the founders, but they were always a hot bed of very brilliant people. I owned the drafting table that the Original VTR electronics were designed on ($25 surplus).

Ampex had an excellent internal museum that had many of the early machines, as well as the precursor German wire recorders and other related technology.

There is still a group in Mountain View that is keeping at least one of the Quad recorders working to transcribe and preserve historic recordings.
