[QuadList] vintage head refurb forms

[Videomagnetics]

Ted,
Thanks for the memories. I actually started out working for Video Max back in 1973 and then with Videomagnetics in 1980 so I had the pleasure of working in both buildings. I still have the original business plans for Videomagnetics Inc from 1975. I wonder how many people knew that the founder of Videomagnetics had also started Video Max but lost controlling interest to CMX and was pushed out after they merged.

  Note the proximity of VideoMax to VideoMagnetics on San Lazaro in Sunnyvale.


  VideoMax is at 154... and Tony's operation, VideoMagnetics is across the street at 155.


  Here's where they were...

  If you zoom in and click on the white stripe in the street, you can use Street View to see what they look like today.


  Tony Korte moved VideoMagnetics to Colorado Springs.  If you visit on the right evenings, you may be in for some live music in the recording studio he has next door.


  VideoMax is now in Palo Alto, on Embarcadero Rd., a few doors from where Merlin Engineering Works was located. Ken Zin may have stories about Merlin to share sometime.


  Side question: Can anyone tell what CMC Technology's "D.P.T. (Dynamic Parallel Tracking)" heads for Ampex machines differed from Ampex's AST (Automatic Scan Tracking) heads for 1" Type C?
