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!
