[QuadList] Next Question of the day

[Chill315 at aol.com]

I think you got most of them.
 
I did not expect that AF Associates would appear.  I had an interview  
there but it did not materialize.  
 
The 3M division was Mimcom.  They made the drop out compensator for  the 
Ampex machine that did the really good job of inverting the Chroma and  making 
the drop outs invisible.  Loved it after they put in the test  circuit.  No 
longer needed a special tape.
 
I understand that they also made the drop out compensator for RCA that  was 
then sold as original equipment.  
 
I remember somewhere that there was a set of delay lines that someone sold  
to adjust for quadrature on the VR-1000 series.  This was not made by  
Allen.    Allen made a bunch of stuff for the VR-1000.  
 
Spin Physics and Video Max just did heads as far as I know.  
 
There are other devices that were out there but not anything  significant.
 
I find it interesting that we can remember all this like yesterday.
 
So now we will have to come up with other questions of the week.

Wow, Chris.  "Accessories"  opens up lots of  possibilities.  I've listed a 
few of the common names that  come to mind for machines and related parts, 
but there must be  a large number that could come under "accessories".   

Merlin
Recortec
Visual
AF Associates
CMC
Videomax
Spin Physics
3M

Well Don gave me the idea for this one.  Since there were a number  of add 
on kits for quads and rebuilders, how many can we name.
 
Everyone knows about Merlin.
 
Then there was the Allen set of electronics for the 1000 series.
 
So how many other places are there that manufactured accessories or did  a 
refurbishment of quads.  These are not to be one only places but ones  that 
had a presence in the market.  No Grace L Ferguson Storm Door and  Airline 
Company places.  (Sorry Bob Newhart)  Also no Don  Norwood.
