[QuadList] Mobile Color-MCI

[Pat McGowan]

Dave-- 
WOW! That goes way back. First remote truck I ever worked on. 
PC-70, PC-70P, HS-100, VR-1200, CDL switcher, Phillips audio board. 
Two identical units, one with blue carpet, one with brown. The Houston truck had the brown. It later served for years and years as the WTMJ-TV mobile unit at County Stadium and the downtown arena (before Bradley Center). Worked on that when WSNS-TV 44 would use it for White Sox games. 
As I remember the story from Ridge Radney, the Norelco Sales Rep was fired when MCI said "we'll take 2 units". Norelco lost $$$ on the deal. Not sure if MCI ever made money with them either. Used the big truck as a control room for the Westpark Dr studio (cables running through a hole in the wall). Couldn't shut the studio down day before/day after a remote, so did College hoops from a Winnebago with John Crowe directing. I was Don Clagett's part-time V-2/trainee. $3.00 per hour. 
Other pic is the 2 Travco's that went to San Juan and Bill Frieberger's legendary Blue Bird bus.

Pat, 

Speaking of MCI, does this look familiar?
