[QuadList] TBC

[Don Norwood]

Hi Scott:

Yes, that looks like the manual I have.  A very fair price if someone needs one.  Copying or scanning this would be a considerable task as many of the pages are 11x17 foldouts.

My impression of the company during the time that these were made was that Microtime was a company created to utilize some of the technology that the parent company, Andersen Laboratories, manufactured.  I believe Andersen  made the delay lines that were used in the TBC's.  Perhaps Bill can shed some additional light on this.

  Fascinating story. I started tracing the company and it appears that whatever was left was sold to Avid. (Along with Pinnacle, DF/X, Dubner)

          Hi Don & Everyone,

          I spec'ed that unit in early 71, and entered into a  contract with Andersen to build it, on which they delivered a prototype in late 71, may be Nov, and then the fun started. It did not work, got rejected, contract into default, litigation began, gave depsitions, recommended how much for our president to pay them to " Go Away", end of Andersen File.

          I had the "mini-buffer" TBC-790 available, before the Legal case was started
