Ed,

I don't know who's truck it was. I have an email into Ron to find out  
if he knows. Also, I would presume that the VTR was in the truck, and  
not microwaved back to some record VTR in a station (as in WRC doing  
the pickup and feeding it back to their station). The video is not  
that sharp if I recall correctly, meaning it did not look like the  
higher quality TK 60's or Marconi's. But, if you are in any way a  
Beatles fan and can toleratse the audio problems, then you should be  
OK with the video quality as well, in my opinion.

David
