[QuadList] HS100's in Australia and Eidophor

[John M]

The ABC one was tube, I think. It needed a hour or so to warm up and stabilise. Esoteric, to say the least, with pools of mercury etc etc.

The Eidophor is an interesting beast.  A physics project to say the least.  Was yours a mono or color one?  I had one at the University of Michigan.  It came in the early 70's.  We used it for medical conferences.  The doctor that donated the unit was very impressed by one and had to have it for his new building that he donated the money for.  He was very well off as being a member of the Dow family helped, like Dow Chemical.
 
Ours was one of the last that had tubes in it.  Phillips made the electronics.  Gretag made the rest of it.

I remember the series and you may be interested that the Eidophor was sold to me by the ABC and I carted it around all over Australia and New Zealand with various pop artist shows and commercial presentations.

 

We used a couple of Pye Mk 4 Image Orthicon cameras and later a couple of Asaca backpacks in a portable OB setup for artists like Rod Stewart, Kiss, Vidal Sassoon, and so on.

 

I still have the Eidophor but havn���t had it on for years.
