[QuadList] ACR-225 (was 1" Machine glue)

[David C. Crosthwait]

KTLA in Los Angeles had an ACR 225. From what I heard at the time,  
they wished for the ACR 25 to come back.

NBC Burbank had six TCR 100's at one time with the Penzone (?) stereo  
mod (I believe it was that one). Yes, the three minute max. record  
duration was a disadvantage as compared to the ACR 25.

Well at least for tour demonstration purposes, the TCR could be opened  
up from the rear to watch the threading/unthread cycle which was  
always pretty scary...
