Hi, Steve,


New England Quads:
The folks in Boston who run the Museum of Broadcast Technology in Woonsocket, RI might be interested in helping. They have a collection of Quads.


Tom Sprague is the CTO, and heads National Boston, the post facility on Dummer St..




CBS (NYC) Retired Engineers luncheon next week:
If you wanted to make a trip to New Jersey next Thursday, the CBS Retired Engineers from the New York facilities are having their annual Luncheon.  


There may well be some folks from the "Grand Central" days when the first Ampex VTR's were installed in 1956... and later.


I was planning to attend—I'll be in NYC from Monday through the Sunday before Memorial Day.  


Unfortunately, the installation we're participating in now overlaps into Thursday so I can't go. :( !!!


I was hoping to meet some of the VT engineers who were involved with the early days of tape at CBS.


I know George Keller was planning to attend.


So maybe some NYC or Boston folks might want to make a vacation trip to Maine?

Greetings from Orrs Island, Maine Ted:
 
I've still got my truly nice 1000C (ex:1990 KEPR-TV Pasco, WA) with all the upgrades and 600 hours on the MK-10 remaining.
 
I wish you folks had somebody from those days on the member list in MASS or NH or VER or MAine that would enjoy getting together and bringing out of it's hybernation.
 
It would be nice to have it set up and running and on display maybe at one of our local Maine stations.
 
All the Best,
 
Steve Spears

I asked that question of the list not long after it started.


I was advised that some collectors prefer to be rather quiet about what they have.


Others are pretty open about what they have.


Add one to the other and the conclusion is that we're not likely to have a complete picture of Where Are the Quads?"


But it doesn't hurt to ask.

Registry of QUAD Machines
 
I asked this question before
and heard nothing back...
 
Has anyone started a list
of what model machines exist 
still out there and where  they
are  located?  For Example I 
have a TR-5 - who else does?
