[QuadList] Saturday Quad Matinee feature--KCOP, 13, Los Angeles--1979 Ros...

[David Crosthwait]

Yes, I never worked for TAV although I knew some who did and have transferred many of their 2" and 1" product over the years. I visited their post facilities in the late seventies initially.

TAV trucks did a lot of shows out of Vegas back then. Before the Green-Crowe trucks (and others) came on the scene, TAV was everywhere remote-truck wise. I bet they had a permanent, reserved parking spot at Caesar's Palace!

If I am not mistaken, this particular truck that I worked in late '78-early '79 went on to Dr. Gene Scott's outfit. If it was not this one, it was one of the other TAV units of similar vintage.

Here is a better shot of that truck:



The complete set of pictures from that remote can be seen here.

One last bit of trivia: If you look closely at the video, you will faintly see the red "record" button lit up along with the "Aud-Vid" green button on the Editec panel. For this "behind the scenes" piece, I was hot assemble editing on the VR-2000 under Editec control where I had laid the last cue tone. I would count down the director (and everyone else on the PL) for the next edit. It was fun and it worked out just fine.
