[QuadList] Quads at the University of Miami

[W4wj at aol.com]

Hi Ted...  Here are the answers to your questions from  Fred:
 
Sure! The Quads (there were 3: a TR1, a TR1A and a TR1C, for  color) were 
semi-retired when two Sony 2800 3/4's, with the manual elevator,  were 
obtained by the department sometime in late 76... Shortly after a 1" Ampex  was 
purchased and that was the end of the C. I personally did not witness the  
removal of the TR'S because I left the U of M in March of 77 to start working 
as  WTVJ's news engineer and they were still there. Only the TR1 remained to  
continue to reproduce material for the class rooms as we had a large stock 
of 2"  History recordings on the shelf. The person that was in charge of the 
 department, and retired a few year ago, is Victor Jugenheimer K4YSU.  He 
really knows the history...
 
With my pleasure you have taken me back a long  time.    Fred.
 
 
TNX Fred!!

Hi, DonM,


Thanks for getting Fred to share,  


TR-1 series machines into 1975.  Pretty good lifespan.  Do you know when 
they retired them and what they were replaced with?

The name of the department was Video Services at the L.I.R.C building.  
During that time we used to record different subject materials,  
English,History etc. where History was the main stay.  The material was  played to the 
different classrooms on a preset schedule via Hi-Intensity  (black and 
white ) rear projectors that were handled at that time by the  late Richard 
Vanhook (N4EV).  As a part of the television production  courses, other 
student-produced programs were recorded for the learning  process.  Judy Wallace was 
in charge.  
 
Thanks for taking interest.   Fred


Thanks to Fred for passing a little Quad history along to  the group!!
