[QuadList] OT-RCA MR-700 slant track recorder, 1961

[Ted Langdell]

Can't tell why the link's don't work. Both work for me, but that may  
be from my cache.

Cliff B reports on OldVTRs that he mailed them to himself, then posted  
to OldVTR's and they worked, but then so did the original links in my  
e-mail to OldVTR's.

He said "???"

The head assembly is HUGE. Looks almost or slightly bigger than the  
tape reels on the machine. I'm thinking that's a very long track that  
would be really fun to keep a head in the center of.
