[QuadList] Followup Re: Quad engineer Ken Zin helps recover Moon orbiter tapes

[Ted Langdell]

Seems my eyes scanned a post Richard Hess made to the http:// 
www.moonviews.com
website a little too quickly, and came away with the idea that  
Richard had an FR-900.

Such isn't the case, but he does have other instrumentation recorders.

So if folks on the list do have experience with or documentation for  
the FR-900 series... it would be very helpful to the LOIRP project.
