[QuadList] From the TR 800 Crypt--Questions seeking answers

[David Crosthwait]

Bill and Scott,

Thanks for the reminders on Florida based manufacturers. I had always thought that Fortel product was actually designed and made out of the country. Vital filled a niche in switcher needs when GVG and others were too costly. The Squeeze Zoom was revolutionary, being used in many a music video in the early era of MTV style effects.

Regards,
