[QuadList] CBS ACR-25's

[bill.spencer at northstarstudios.tv]

You got Basil's name right.  I'm going to invite him into the group as I
do a lot of satellite business with him now and used to have several
TCR's with his mods back in the 70's and 80's.

Lucky you  my company had TC100's one with 600 signal processing, and
Pinzone mods(not sure how you spell the guys name)

I spent a lot of time head clutching and when the +5 went hi and it lost
several hundred DTL chips which were then too old to source in the UK

RCA had to fly them in...............................................

Did not Merlin also offer stereo retrofit kits for the ACR's?  I have a
bunch of old Merlin literature and I will have to dig it out to see if
that was done.  

 

ACR-25 was a beautiful machine.  I think about it and realize the amount
of sophistication that went into the design and control system.  This
was before any computers were available for control that could really do
wonders now.

 

Ampex did a beautiful job on the design.
