[QuadList] Quad Survey--participants requested

[Ted Langdell]

Some months ago I asked the question "Where are the Quads?"

We had a few answers, and off list I was advised that some folks are  
rather private about their collections. I can respect that.

For those who might wish to participate but have their names private  
and collection's specific whereabouts somewhat vague, I think we can  
accomplish that by saying "Anonymous" and "Los Angeles Area," or  
something that might work for you.  Just tell me how much I can say.

So, I pose the question again, in an effort to generate a list  
something like what Bobby Ellerbee has done for his camera website here:

http://www.eyesofageneration.com/Survey.php
Scroll down all the way to see specific details about Chuck Pharis'  
and the Museum of Broadcast Technology collections.

It would be great if we could create that level of detail, and whether  
the machines are in working condition, and whether they are being used  
to transfer tape.

If you're engaged in the business of tape transfer, please feel free  
to say so.  It can be helpful to people who have transfer needs find  
someone near them.

I get e-mail requests from time to time and may not know that there's  
someone fairly close to the person asking.

If you can do format conversions, add some detail about that process  
(equipment used, etc.)

For example, one of our members in Australia needs a 1" Type C NTSC  
transferred and converted to PAL. His asking around hasn't turned up  
any NTSC machines in his region, so he might have to send the tape here.

If the Quad machines are part of an institution, it would be  
interesting to know a little more about the collections of tape the  
machines may be used to migrate... IE "4,231 hours from 1957 to  
1985."  Indicate if you're able to take in outside work and whether  
you can do so

There's no time limit on participation. I can always add to the list,  
and change what's listed as collections grow or change.

You can post on-list if you'd like... or e-mail me directly: ted at quadvideotapegroup.com 
.

Hope everyone's having a good day... and enjoys some relaxation over  
the weekend... especially if its in the workshop working on something  
reel.
