[QuadList] TV Station Engineering Report

Mon Mar 18 12:05:51 CDT 2013

The head hours sure piled up on the B side of the TCR didn't they? Doing all the recording when dubbing. Should not be too hard to figure out which station--lists the HS-100 out on Baseball, that narrows it way down to a station that had both Ampex and RCA quads (not too many of those I'll wager) and a mobile unit with an HS-100. 

Was NOT WGN, we had TCR's and HS-100 but no TR-70's. 
KPRC had the TR-70's but no Ampex machines that I know of, so Chicago and Houston are off the list. Any other ideas?

That was the "miracle of videotape": It could be erased and re-used. Any many stations did just that.

David, 

Are the numbers listed next to the individual Quads the total operating hours, total headwheel hours, or the hours on a specific headwheel that was on the machine at the time?
