[QuadList] Mechanical Splices

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, David,

Thanks!

I thought they might have re-laid the track.  Doesn't that imply a  
machine mod to allow audio-only editing?  I can imagine it was rather  
fun trying to get the audio and video synced without any means of  
interlock.

It would be great to get some of the "guys that were there" on camera  
talking about what they did, and how they did it.

Happy Heterodyning.

Ted
