Anyone know any details about what time frame it was used and/or any projects? I'm wondering if it was the only tape machine there or did they have others? I imagine it was used on some big projects. It's in great condition-still working and very clean. Jesse Winchester bought it from the studio in the early '80's and sold it to a guy in Montreal (15 years or so ago) which is where I just got it last week. Larry or whoever-I just bought the original Ampex MM1000 from Bearsville. He had an API in the house and a custom built console that he designed.
