[QuadList] Jeporady Question of the Day

[Gary Adams]

Yes it was called Silverlake.  It was made by Odetics with and for RCA.
Several of the product group from RCA left for Odetics to continue the
product which had several generations of kit and was quite successful.  They
ultimately interfaced with just about any modern cassette type decks
including the Tektronix Profile disk recorder.  I think some are still in
use and are still service by a  couple of former Odetics Engineers.  I
worked for them a short while and still keep in touch with some of them.  In
early systems, the decks had to be modified, but later systems did not
require any deck modifications.  This made it really appealing since you
could choose your format and deck and still have the automation from
Odetics.   Gary

Of course there was RCA's Silverlake (?) Beta spot playback system, which
was introduced but never made, and which was ultimately marketed by its
manufacturer Odetics.  But that was a Sony Beta system, not quad.

As we know, many products are introduced and never make it to market.  One
example is the VR-8000 that was a 2 inch helical machine that looked like an
VR-1100 with a new transport.  Literature was distributed and catalog sheets
were produced.

 

So the question is 

 

"What RCA Quad Machine was introduced but never was sold?
