This is a view of the longitudinal head area of the VPR-5, looking from the
front of the machine. The protective metal cover has been removed and we may see (from Right to Left) the stacked audio / time code erase head and the record and replay magnetic head assemblies.
On this particular machine we can also see what seems to be an unusual
audio / time code recording head steady and phase adjustment device. This consists of a beautifully finished bracket fixed around the top capstan bearing area and a machined rectangular framework surrounding the erase and record heads. It is not known if this feature and this machine's unusual head cover were an early modification made for the BBC, or were perhaps found to be not needed in subsequent machines. |
