[QuadList] Western Australia TV--Look for the RCA TRT delay system

[Ted Langdell]

And now for something totally different:

Just ran across the Western Australia TV History site, and this page:
http://watvhistory.com/2009/03/peter-croft-evolution-of-transmission-facilities/

which has a lot of Quad pix and a good story to tell.

About a third of the way down, you'll see a delay system with tube TRT  
machine feeding tape over to a TR-3? for playback.

Ampex ACR-25's are present... along with other Ampex and RCA Quads.

What's interesting is that Type C BVH-2000P's replaced many of the  
Quads, but they were using Bosch BCN B-format machines for time zone  
delay.

Scroll all the way town for a collection of pix with a lot of quads to  
be seen, and an HS-200 disc recorder.

It shows that Quad was still being used in 1992... via the ACR-25's,  
and there's a C/U of the head assembly and vacuum columns on an AVR-1  
in 1996.

This collection is also on Flicker:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/watvhistory/3365509644/  shows the VT  
area... with a pair of TR-60s opposite AVR-1's.

Have fun!
