[QuadList] Johnny Carson clips

Dennis,

I always enjoy your photos!
Is that a window I see behind where the BVH-1000 is about to go in the second picture?
I'm surprised they're not RCA branded.

Did NBC ever have any RCA TR-800's?

No, the stereo show was recorded on 1-inch Type C.  NBC had both RCA and Ampex quad VTRs, both in New York and Burbank.  When 1-inch was introduced at NBC-New York in 1978, the machines were Sony BVH-1000s.  The MII format was introduced around 1985 or so.  Here are two photos of the first two Type C machines, as they were being installed at 30 Rock:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisdegan/515355785/  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisdegan/515328974/
