[QuadList] TV Technology Article/Videos by Rich Diehl

[Ted Langdell]

Don,

Thanks for posting this. This should be a good series!  Looking  
forward to more.

All the museums mentioned have websites:

Museum of Radio and Television:		http://www.ohio.edu/people/postr/MRT/
Early Television Foundation:			http://www.earlytelevision.org/
Museum of Broadcast Technology		http://www.wmbt.org/

You can watch an HD video of some of the inside of the Museum of  
Broadcast Technology here:

You'll see quite a range of cameras and call letters.

The video was shot on an trip to the Early Television Foundation and  
the annual Early TV gathering by Virtual Museum proprietor Richard  
Diehl, aka "Labguy" who has a large collection of non-broadcast VTRs...

Rich has owned 1" Type C (watch the VPR-5 video) an AVR-2 and  
retrieved an IVC 9000 from a closed post house.  Look for the story  
under "IVC"

MBT's Paul Beck gave Rich and fellow collector Bruno Merlier a tour of  
his church's video facility.  Paul switches and camera-operates a six- 
camera setup all by himself.

Rich also shot video of QuadList Member John Turner's RCA TR-60 Quad  
VTR in operation at Turner's engineering firm in New Jersey.

At 5:44 in, Turner says if the TR-60 is finessed, "it's as good as any  
Quad ever made. Even AVR-1's, although David Crosthwait will argue  
with me!"

John outlines some technical and historic historical background on the  
design of the machines.

Turner says the servos were designed by Ken Louth, who went on to  
found Louth Automation, now a part of Harris Corp.

You'll find more interesting videos on Rich's YouTube site. Well worth  
poking around.

The videos look quite sharp in 720p. Recommended if you have the  
bandwidth!

Nice shooting, Rich. Thanks for putting those up!
