[QuadList] 1" Machine glue (now VPR-3)

[Guy Spiller]

I suspect the VPR-3 will, in retrospect, be the last piece of video gear 
built that was (is) truly a joy to watch in operation.  Watching  hard 
drives just isn't the same.
And a delight to the touch....a tape recorder with such an incredible 
tactile feel....approaching that of an ADO.
A true work of art.  Thanks, Bill!
