[QuadList] OT: Harris Quits broadcast equipment- more detail

[Chill315 at aol.com]

First the pictures did not make it through on my PC
 
A couple of interesting things in the news letter.
 
The new computer installation had the whopping memory of about 200  meg.  
Just think what you could store with that amount.
 
Second the pay raise was 40 cents an hour that was granted. Some of us  
would love to see that in these times but 40 cents back then was a lot.

Harris had a direct connection to 2" quad: The  Harris 590 TBC. I ran a VR 
1200 in a truck in Ohio for NBC college  basketball that had one in lieu of 
the Amtec/Colortec etc. NBC Burbank had a  590 for month hooked up to a TR 
70A for demo purposes in the early  80's. 


And here is a Harris 590 during the 1980 NAB, showcasing products by  
just-acquired Consolidated Video Systems, which became Harris Video  Systems:





The original photo and more coverage of the 1980 NAB are in the Harris  
"Intercom" newsletter, here:

Check out the photo of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the front page.  
Where did the saucer section go?

Harris trivia question:  What hypenated name was Harris also known  by, 
about the time it picked up Gates?
