[QuadList] Guerilla splices (was RCA types)

[Joe Owens]

I was out there in repeater station-land loading up Merv Griffin  
after the Late News run...  fast-forwarding through the slugs -- 30  
sec on-air breaks and roll it back in on cue.  Using the mechanical  
timer -- no time code.
A friend and I made a joke tape, "editing" on a TR-70C... just  
rolling an old spot tape through cutting it up with scissors, masking  
taping the splices together... snipping the edges for an audio  
insert... cleverly inserted a jump cut (while we replaced the reel),  
rolled the whole thing back and played "it" through --- hey! looked  
pretty good!  Management didn't seem to think it was very  
funny....    ;-)
