Quoting Ryan Schweitzer <rds at bis.midco.net>:
> Hello all,
>
> I've been subscribing to this list now for the past couple of
> months, mainly "lurking" it and being a quiet observer, but I felt
> that I should "step up" and introduce myself.
>
> My name is Ryan Schweitzer, and I've been a dedicated A/V geek for
> most of my 33 years, having been involved in, or volunteered for, or
> employed in broadcasting (both TV and radio) off and on for the
> past 20 years or so here in ND where I live. I've had a keen
> interest in broadcast technology (video especially) for just as
> long, and I'm glad to be a part of this list.
>
> I also like to collect vintage professional/industrial & consumer
> video gear (I have a scrounged-together video studio set up in my
> 2nd bedroom of my apartment, mostly made up from surplus/castoff/2nd
> hand gear), complete with Alta Pyxis video switcher and
> Premiere-based NLE system, along with miscellaneous cameras, 16mm
> telecine projector (a Magnatech Enterprises-modified Elmo CL16 w/
> 5-blade shutter and XLR audio out), DVD recorder, a CG,
> 3/4"/Hi8/Betamax/VHS VCRs, FTA satellite reciever (with re-purposed
> Primestar dish :)) and what not. All I need is a transmitter &
> antenna, and I could practically set up my own pirate TV station :).
> I've also got a few old Panasonic EIAJ-format decks, an ancient
> Sony CV-2100, and a intermittently tape-eating Sony BWV-40 Betacam
> deck in storage as well.
>
> Amongst my collection I also have two Quad tapes as well, one of
> them a episode of a news magazine produced by a local TV station
> (KXJB in Fargo, ND) dating from 1976, and a spot reel from 1975
> containing a localized promo for the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon for
> another local station here where I live (KXMB in Bismarck, ND),
> starring Jerry Lewis and my late father, who worked at the station
> in the 70s as a production director & on-air personality (and my
> influence for being interested in b'csting). Both are high-band
> color tapes, IIRC, I'd like to get these transferred (especially the
> MDA spot), I know quite a few of you on this list are more than
> able to so such.
>
> Anyhow, I find this list quite interesting, considering my keen
> interest in the 2" quad format (what with its historical and
> technological significance), and I'm glad to be a part of it...
