[QuadList] NHK's research lab developed a Quad machine in 1958

[Dennis Ray Wingo]

In the 1980's when working for Gene Scott I turned a mountaineering backpack into a carrier for the Sony 3/4" deck and married it to a Sony Mini-cam for use in the LA city council meetings and for remote shots that we used as visual filler during songs.

I can imagine how heavy this beast would have been along with the batteries!

My recall was that it had a head that looked like a very small Ampex quad. When I went by the both I was surprised to see it, however there was nobody there at that time that could speak enough English to tell anything about it.
