enough about them to know which one; a model number wasn't evident on 
the machine) at South Carolina Educational TV.  What a thrill to see a 
tape threaded and played back on that beast!?

?  In the mid 70's, I worked at WIS-TV in Columbia, SC not far from 
SCETV's network operations center (the old one).  At that time, SCETV 
had a couple of AVR-1's.  Sammy, what year did you see those quads in 
action??

?  The last time I was there in 1979, in addition to the AVR-1's, they 
had a bunch of upright consoles which housed 1-inch VTR's.  I've never 
seen that type of machine since.  The memory is dim; I don't know who 
made those 1-inch VTR's.  I'm sure that they were not RCA, but they 
could have been made by either Ampex or Sony.  I'm also pretty sure 
that they weren't VPR-3's (this was in 1979 so it was too early for 
VPR-3's).  The consoles were wide, sort of like those quad machines we 
saw a while ago here, mounted in an airplane for the Army.  They might 
have been specially built consoles just for SCETV, not sure.?
