[QuadList] Western Australia TV--Look for the RCA TRTdelaysystem

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, James,

Glad to hear you've been getting some work for your old friends.

Here's the link to the video clip you posted:

There's an proper CP16 film camera at :46... but, alas, no television  
cameras to be seen.

Dunno if it'll show up over here... but we might be able to watch via  
the Ten network website if they post it for viewing.

Ted
