[QuadList] was 1" Machine glue, now ACR-25

[David C. Crosthwait]

Hello Dennis,

Thank you. However, "fantastic" comes at a price for the cost of  
storage. However, I am hopeful that some day, I can have some pricey  
red carpet real estate at the NAB, and put the following items  
(operating) side by side behind a velvet rope:
ACR-25. TCR 100 (from Paul Beck & the guys in New England). AVR-1.  
TRT-1. VR-1000. VR-2000. And whatever else quad wise, just for the  
photo op. Wouldn't that be fun?

Then retire.

In the meantime, back to work.

David
