3 SR6-SONY, Serial to Parallel Converter

INSTALLATION for AMPEX VPR-2

Wire SR6 pin #9 to AMPEX pin #31, Ground.

Wire SR6 pin #3 to AMPEX pin #5, Record.

Wire SR6 pin #4 to AMPEX pin #1, Play.

Wire SR6 pin #5 to AMPEX pin #15, Stop.

Wire SR6 pin #8 to AMPEX pin #20, Shuttle Command

Wire SR6 pin #6 to AMPEX pin #16 through 27K ohm, 1/4 Watt, series resistor.

Wire AMPEX pin #4 (+12 Vdc) to AMPEX pin #16 through 100K ohm, 1/4 Watt series
resistor.

The value of the 27K and 100K resistors can be adjusted for a desired shuttle speed per
the following:

When pin #16 voltage is:

Î 5 volts, the tape shuttles forward.
Í 5 volts, the tape shuttles reverse.
The further away from 5 volts, the faster the shuttle speed.
The closer to 5 volts, the slower the shuttle speed.
