TVR-3??: Need the EXACT model number for this one! Anyone got an Ikegami equipment catalog from this era? Would you believe a 2/3 inch tape, helical scan, reel to reel, video tape recorder? Spec's: Two heads, 2/3" tape, 7" reels, 12 IPS, 45 minutes record / play time, weighs 52 pounds. Photo & info: Electronics World Magazine - November, 1966. 
TVR-301: New! Would you believe a 2/3 inch tape, helical scan, reel to reel, video tape recorder? Spec's: Two heads, 2/3" tape, 7" reels, 12 IPS, 45 minutes record / play time, weighs 52 pounds. Here is the [DECK FUNCTIONS] and [EXTERNAL VIEW] of the transport. Photo & info: Marcel Snijders
TVR-311: Spec's: Two heads, 1" tape, 9-1/2" reels, 9.6 IPS, 66 minutes record / play time, slow motion and still frame, weighs 90 pounds. Photo & info: Electronics World Magazine - November, 1966. 
TVR-401: This one is rumored to be a 2/3 inch tape, VTR. I don't know much more than this. Do you? After adding the TVR-301 & 311, for which I have solid documentation, I have some doubts as to the accuracy of this one's description or photo. Note the resemblance to the one inch TVR-311. Write to me if you know more about these VTR's, please! Photo: (Martin Loach?) Tim Stoffel
