[QuadList] Check out eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sportin

[Steve Spears]

The only way that two inch helical ever worked really nice was with the 
machine in Japan that "Takaiangi" designed when he was at Japan Victor. He 
was Japan's version of Charlie Ginsburg (Ampex) and that machine had a two 
head arrangement with a drum about 12 inches in diameter. NHK had some when 
I got a tour through the brand new Broadcast Center in Tokyo in 1966. Steve 
Spears, Orrs Island, Maine.
