Here are JPGs and a correct link to the newsletter from which the pictures are taken.  

Please click on the link to enjoy the full newsletter, and—perhaps unusual for a major competitor—pictures of other manufacturers' booths and products on the last page.

> 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
with the CORRECT link, this time:
http://gates-harris-history.com/1980-08%20August.pdf  

You can check out other Gates and Harris publications here:

Check out the photo of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the front page.  Where did the saucer section go?
Area 51?


And there was entertainment.  Mac Davis sang one day, according to the Intercom writeup, and this photo 
indicates Kenny Rogers also entertained.


Who would be an entertainment draw at NAB 2013?  

Or would such an event be possible/practical given the shorter duration of the show in recent years?

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

Correctly mentioned by Don Norwood and then Chris Hill as Harris-Intertype.
