[QuadList] Odd VR-1000

[bill.spencer at northstarstudios.tv]

Someone mentioned a few weeks ago about finding an odd VR-1000 that
looked like it had been modified with a 2" audio stack.  Today I read an
article about a VR-1000 transport that had been modified to be a 16
track audio recorder so 90 minute reels could be mounted for longer
recording time.  This was done by the Grateful Dead for their 72
European tour and whether this machine was the one, or if they got or
gave the idea to someone else, it proves there was such a machine.  The
description of how the material was recovered, speed corrected, and
otherwise cleaned up for making new files for duplicating the big box
set that is being released is also interesting.  It is the Jan 12 issue
of Pro Sound and I don't have a url for the digital version, but I know
there is one.
