[Quadlist] Welcome to the Quad List/Special Quad tape restoration event today in LA

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, members,

I hope you'll forgive my newness at managing a mailing list.

I'd intended to hit the "Invite" button instead of "Subscribe" to  
alllow you to Opt-In instead of find yourself getting mail you  
weren't exactly expecting.

You're on this list because you either:

•Showed up for the informal event on Tuesday at NAB this year
•You expressed an interest in response to postings on the TIG, AMIA  
or Old VTR's lists, or
•I know you have an interest or passion for Quad video.

I hope you'll enjoy participating, and will stay with us.  That said...

You can click on the link at the very bottom of this message to opt- 
out or change any of your subscription parameters.

In the meantime, please take a look at the main website    
QuadVideotapeGroup.com as we have made some changes since it was  
first put up.

We've been corresponding with Ed Reitan and Don Kent about their  
restorations of several early videotapes... and have some comments  
from them on several pages.

In fact, if you're in the LA area today  (Friday, July 25) there's a  
presentation of the earliest surviving COLOR Quad tape—restored by  
Don, Ed and Dan Einstein...

the WRC-TV/NBC Washington, DC color studio dedication—
featuring President Eisenhower...

the Nixon-Khrushchev debate recorded
49 years ago on this date, (July 25) 1959.

Tonight's program also features
John F. Kennedy Speaks to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association  
about his Catholicism during a meeting on September 12, 1960 in  
Houston's Rice Hotel. The meeting was also telecast as a paid  
political broadcast throughout Texas on a special 22-station network,  
and recorded on Quad tape.


and The Jack Benny Program: "The Harry S Truman Show" recorded  
11/18/59 at the former president's Truman Library.

UCLA Film and Television Archivist Dan Einstein arranged the  
presentation.
Details can be found here: http://www.cinema.ucla.edu/screenings/ 
screenings.html *(see link at "Preservationists Choice")

It'll run about two hours and is apparently being screened from  
BetacamSP tape.

It's happening at 7:30pm (Tonight, Friday July 25)
Billy Wilder Theater
UCLA/Armand Hammer Museum of Art
Wilshire and Westwood Blvd's
Los Angeles.

It's three intersections EAST of the 405. Exit at Wilshire and go east.

I've booked a flight from Sacramento to attend, and hope to be able  
to arrange a time to videotape Don Kent and Dan Einstein (and Ed  
Reitan, if he's present) about their experiences in restoring a  
number of early and historic Quad tapes.

I'm planning to post as much as information as I can next week (along  
with pictures Don Kent has graciously supplied) drawn from the e- 
mails Ed and Don have been exchanging with me about the WRC-TV  
dedication, the restoration of the three Fred Astaire specials, and  
one that's personal to Don....

Tennessee Ernie Ford's "The Mikado."

Visit the website late next week for details.

If you or folks you know will be in the LA area and can attend the  
screening tonight, perhaps we can arrange an informal, impromptu  
"meeting" of the Quad Videotape Group somewhere afterward or on  
Saturday.

Meantime, I hope your day goes well, and that I'll see some of you at  
the screening or elsewhere.

Ted
