[QuadList] Picture of the day (link to)---and who's in it?

[Rob Mobley]

Hi Scott,
Back in 1985 I worked for Tele-Image & helped them open their facility there at Las Colinas. They had previously had an office in Carrollton for some years. At the time, the new place was quite a facility, designed by one of my all time favorite engineers, Dennis Morton. They bought two second hand AVR-3's for spot duplication; one from the Osmond Production Company in Utah & the other from the Southern Baptist Convention, as I recall. I spooled off thousands of dubs from those machines. I think they may be the quads you are referring to. I took a gig with Disney in 1988 & left the Dallas area for central Florida. Subsequent mergers happened with Tele-Image in the coming months & years - I believe they merged with Dallas Post & became Pyramid Teleproductions & Blue Cactus came some time later. I still had a lot of friends there that endured some of those changes. I couldn't tell you where the AVR-3's ended up, but I still communicate with some of my friends from there. I will ping them & find out what they know.
Best Regards,
Rob Mobley

  My brother worked at a post house in Dallas named "Blue Cactus Post" between 1995 and 1996. This place was an amalgamation of two or more facilities; one being "Pyramid" I believe. (lots of GVG-300 and ADO-1000).


  In the back were two AVR-2 machines. When the facility went bust and everything was up for auction, I had thought of driving a van over and getting one. Even Tim Stoffel told me that it would be a good deck for a beginning Quad collector, partially because it would run on 110VAC.


  Any idea where the Dallas AVR-2's went?
