[QuadList] 1" Machine glue

[David C. Crosthwait]

Bill and the group,

Next to the AVR-1, the ACR-25 gets my vote as the most beautiful and  
versatile machine ever made. Talk about a cash box? I wonder how much  
income has been generated by that one product for stations who heavily  
invested in one, two, or sometimes more (example: WFAA Dallas had  
three).

We have been fortunate to have acquired seven of them in the last  
twenty years, two of which are fully intact (in storage) and waiting  
for the day. NAB display?

Attached is one such "save" in Texas.
