[QuadList] Looking for pix, info on Quad-related gear, events for 1960, 1970, 1980

[Ted Langdell]

We're re-making the front page for Quadvideotapegroup.com, and I'm  
featuring Quad gear and related things for 1960, 1970 and 1980.

IE:

1960:  The Ampex VR1001A upright, Intersync, Amtec and RCA TR-2 Quads  
were introduced. Ampex shares VTR patents with Sony in exchange for  
transistor circuit assistance.

Ch. 20 in Montgomery, AL was using a TR-2 in 1968... that was  
"liberated off an aircraft carrier."

Anyone recall RCA machines being used on carriers?

Don Murray might want to comment on this photo from Xen Scott--showing  
what's apparently the WTVJ tape bus:

Don: Were these house-modified VR-1000's (*made upright) or were these  
VR-1000A's from the factory?
Any details on the tape bus falling into the drink?


1970: Ampex and RCA introduce Quad-based cartridge recorder/players  
for short-length elements like commercials, promos and news stories.
