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

[Scott Thomas]

Great to hear from you,

So you worked at The Post Group in Orlando? I worked at WKMG (nee WCPX) for a year and was involved in a redesign of the station. I worked with a Century III ex-patriot named Curtis Sponsler. Know him?

I was in Blue Cactus a couple of times. I'm pretty sure the two machines were AVR-2's. They were in a storage area in the back and not in the equipment area. I'll see if I kept a copy of the auction list.

Can't find the list. They were much smaller than the VR-1200's and RCA TR-70's I had been around.

In Googling for the info, I found a post I made in 2009 on the Quadlist in response to Park. He said that he had an edit session in Dallas on AVR-2's. Don't know where though.

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.
