Welcome to the Ampex OldTimers website, established July 7, 2015.
This site is dedicated to the Ampex Pioneers and those who followed.
The group holds an annual picnic and barbecue in the San Francisco Bay Area where Ampex was and is located and has been holding Zoom on-line gatherings in conjunction with the picnic and at other times. More ZOOM events are being planned.

Quad Videotape Group members have organized the annual Ampex OldTimers Barbecue and Picnic since 2014, relieving Ampex OldTimers Fred and JoAnn Pfost, so they could mingle with their colleagues and friends. They were fixtures at the event until several years ago, and enjoyed being able to circulate without needing to monitor the registration table and other aspects.
