[QuadList] Quad Libraries

[Don Norwood]

The December issue of Broadcast Engineering has an article on page 90 about archiving.  In the article, it refers to "enormous libraries of quad videotape will be unplayable in a few years" (due to lack of operating equipment).

Does anyone have any reliable info regarding how much quad material is still out there?  My impression has been that most broadcast stations have already disposed of their quad tape.  I wouldn't think there was much 1" left either.

If no data has been compiled, perhaps a publication such as BE could run a survey to help determine how much material is still on the shelves and what demand really exists for its archival.
