[QuadList] GPTV quads (was SCETV Consoles--did they look like these RCA)

[Sammy Jones]

Guy,

Glad you saw and liked the photos!  It was a really neat trip, and I was glad to see that SCETV has retained so much of their past.  Unfortunately, GPTV/GPB has not!

I heard that someone got those quads.  Are you trying to restore them?

I doubt that your machines recorded the GETV quads; as you may know although WGTV is now wholly owned and operated by Georgia Public Broadcasting (actually the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission), before the 1980s, WGTV and GETV/GPTV were affiliated but entirely separate entities.  GPTV has maintained production headquarters in Atlanta since the 1960s, while WGTV was based in Athens at UGA.

As as aside, I might have the very machine that recorded that "Georgia 
Educational Television Network" quad tape.  I picked up four machines 
this spring from the University of Georgia campus in Athens that were 
used at WGTV when the studio was there.
