[QuadList] OT: How to move a VPR-80 in a sidecar cabinet without a truck or trailer--AVR 2 Next??

[Bill Carpenter]

Yes that Barco is a good monitor, I specified it and Barco built it for me. I 
was trying to get Tek to build it, but all they would offer me was a repackaged 
Sony TV set. 


I would not accept this for a Broadcast product from Ampex, and this was years 
before we started working with Sony on the BetaSP products

An interesting byproduct of that negotiation was that some folks left 
Tektronix's and started Magni, and one of the early products was a waveform 
sampling product that I specified and Tek would not build, since they wanted to 
PROTECT their monitor products. 


If I remember correctly it was Victor Kong who was later the top engineer at 
Magni, and it he was who told me, at Tek, that he understood what I wanted, why 
it was needed by the Industry, but he could not make it for me. 

(This may have been the cause that started Magni?)

So, if things had worked out different, we would have had a Tektronix 9" monitor 
and a Wave Form sampler instead Barco and the 528.

Thanks! The cabinet came from a good environment and didn't take much more than 
wiping down with some cleaner.  

The cabinet is 1984 vintage, as is the TBC. The deck is 1986, the Barco picture 
monitor... 1988, I think, and am not sure about the age of the Tek stuff. 

Scott at MobileTek supplied them from his stock and they're freshly calibrated 
and have had caps and other things replaced.  Second time we've had him refurb a 
1720/1730 package for this client.  And you're to blame :) Thanks for the 
recommendation.

The Barco CM22 is a nice monitor. No burn or purity problems.  Looks a bit 
sharper than the Sony 8" I was using to monitor the clean TBC output. Was 
wondering what type of tube is used... delta gun shadow mask vs. Trinitron, etc.

Has an interesting H/V Pulse Cross switching setup where you push the button and 
it cycles through H delay, V delay, Pulse-Cross and then back to normal.  Also 
has RGB input and audio monitoring, not used in this application.
