[QuadList] RCA Headwheel

 Scott,

The headwheel will not turn freely without a source of air pressure. Maybe someone on the list with an RCA machine could use it.

Regards,
Harold

I was talking to our CE today. I had sent him the VR-2000 videos that Park had 
put up recently. He then brought me over to the engineering closet and showed me 
something I hadn't seen in around 20 years; a case with an RCA headwheel 
assembly.

It looks fairly intact, but the motor doesn't spin freely. Probably too many 
years in the humid Florida weather. It had a sticker indicating that it had been 
refurbished by... (CVC??? I don't remember, the company owned by Kodak. I know I 
saw a lot of those labels before)

Is it just an artifact to be admired, or should I implore the company to have it 
refurbished for some greater good?

Anyway, it was fascinating to see one again.

Scott Thomas
