Bonus points for anyone who knows the Star Trek connection?
Dunno [EDIT: I didn't know] the Star Trek connection offhand, but I do know that we have, in large part, der Bingle to thank for Ampex's very existence (and the availability of tape for recorded media) after WWII.

As an ego-centric aside (imagine that) due to the kindness of one of the local gurus (now, sadly, deceased), I have a pair of the same (or very similar) American Microphones here -- someplace.

(I think that Bing might've crossed paths, you know, on the road to someplace, with guy -- once or twice
)
@KennethSwauger I know I can't keep up with you in the arena of tape ephemera... but it's still fun to try! Keep 'em coming & thanks!

all of the cool kids have A77s.
But, then again, the really cool kids have B77s.
And the seriously cool kids -- have Studer A810s (or similar).

as seen Elsewhere (ahem, ASR, ahem...)
-
The coolest of all the kids, the kids who wear winter coats all year long have a Studer J37.

Or, an Ampex MR70 with the added fun of using nuvistors.

Can you find our cat, Oreo?

That's his new spot on our back porch. He can maneuver all on his own.
There's a display shelving unit from a K-Mart I helped remodel sitting there. A travel/party cooler on top of the shelving unit. Then him. He found a way to get up there some how. He's like a Panther! 20"+ long or so before the tail. 
He can jump up 30" with ease. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I'm pretty sure I can jump 30" with ease too. -

Put a 2/1 lift in the Taco & added some studded grabbers. It added 3in to front & 2in to back. Drives the same as stock IMO. Lost some mileage from studs (they will not be used in winter again-i will go narrow tire next winter on the steelies). Overall it sits a tad higher in front now. I like the looks better & at my age i even went 4 wheeling in the snow that day pictured & had a blast. Still better mpg than the work truck v10. Getting ready to order summer wheels for the general grabbers & gearing up for more upgrades.
