[QuadList] HS-200

[David Crosthwait]

Hello Dennis,

Yes, it was Cen Louie. I think he was a quad/HS-100/one-inch guy. 

That shot of Cen was taken at the racetrack outside of Phoenix when we used CCR's Fernseh truck. I think that made for an easy day for him in maintenance!

In so far as photos are concerned, it's funny how all of these new NBC Burbank pix's are coming out of the grave since I started posting them on an NBC Facebook page. As NBC transitions out of Burbank for good (with the exception of Leno in studio 11), rare photos have been surfacing of the construction, the equipment and most importantly, the people. Probably as you did, we fed our families and put kids through college, thanks in part to 3000 West Alameda Ave. So there is a soft spot in the hearts of many for the good fortune to have worked there it it's peak.

I remember working a remote in Dallas in WBAP's truck and it had two TR-70's in the back of the Gerstenslager. Made for a tight fit. Then ad the HS-100 and the inn was full.

Two of my friends from the TV station we worked at actually worked the event (They are in a couple of the photos).  I was on vacation in Memphis and tagged along to shoot the pictures.  As you know, in those days, security wasn't anything like it is today.  I walked onto the golf course easily and without challenge over several days of the event.  I had no credentials; I don't think anybody had them.
> 	When I finally was employed by NBC in NY, I took lots of photos (I'm sure you've seen many of them on Flickr).  Occasionally, my photography was not welcome.  But mostly, no one ever told me not to shoot photos.  Most of the time, I'd ask if it was OK and except for some rare instances, the subjects did not object.  I never heard from management to not shoot pictures at 30 Rock at the time.  I suppose that's because I never published the photos until many years later.  In addition, I usually did not shoot photos of NBC talent working.  My interest was the facility, not the talent.
> 	I had always thought that the photos would be of interest in the future; to see how the studios and facilities have changed.  It turns out that I've even heard from executives at NBC who have appreciated my behind-the-scenes photography.  Eventually, I hope that the photos will find their way back into NBC's hands once I'm long gone.
