[QuadList] TR 50

[Trevor Brown]

Ours went to a local college a long time back

It was I think once a TR4

Front  porch switching added

 

TW servo used to drift 

You started the recording with the  Vel TC full anti clock and finished the
recordings with it full CCW

and then not enough pot to line up the stab dots with third broad

 

If anyone had to physically edit the tape, they would have had very little
chance

Anyone know where to find a PAL TR-50?

Trevor,

Great story! Thank you. Needs a re-enactment or at least an artist
rendition.

We used to have a TR50 in a truck for mobile recordings

Mid football match (soccer)

machine stopped, figured out it was no air and

located compressor in a small cupboard below the floor 

Just  as aloud roar came up from the ground (I bet they will want to use

that bit)

The only goal

Compressor red hot could not touch it without losing skin

Solution dump the CO2 fire extinguisher into the compressor cupboard heat

fuse reset

but too late for the goal

Don,

 

 

I know that feeling, the worst night mare of all! A great play has

occurred, you're cue up and the producer says that X has a great shot.

The director says "standby X, roll X, take X. ROLL X!!!  ROLL X!!!"

Then the TD and the producer starts yelling "ROLL X". 

 

 

When I was at WXXI, one of the VTRs on our remote truck was VTR X.

 

During a game we were doing one time, the director was frequently

calling out 'Roll X'. After the game, I went and talked to the director

(A woman, and someone whom I had worked with quite a bit), and had the

following conversation:

 

Me: Thanks for your hard work on the game today.

 

Her: You're welcome.

 

Me: I do have one question though.

 

Her: What's that?

 

Me: I know that you directors make a lot more money than us engineers.

But you don't need to flaunt it. Like constantly talking during the game

about your expensive watch.

 

Now, she had a really puzzled look.

 

Her: What do you mean?

 

Me: All through the game, you were constantly calling out 'Rolex'

'Rolex'.

 

With that, she had a good laugh.
