[QuadList] OT anyone have one of these colorizers!?

[Gary Adams]

I never saw any of the newer models.  But as a disclaimer, some of the stuff
we used was made from kits and the Riker modules used a kind of board that
is easy to duplicate.  I think we had a combination of original and
duplicated gear in this area.  It was a long time ago.

Hi Gary:

 

The Riker sync gen we had was not in the modular form of the other Riker
gear.  It was a one rack unit high chassis with a single horizontal circuit
board, but I seem to recall that the circuit was the same design as the
modular frames.  The color standard was another single rack unit so the two
of them together took up 2 rack spaces.  Wasn't that the same height as the
module frames?  I guess maybe the advantage would have been a smaller unit
if you didn't need color, but it was much more difficult to service than the
module frame design.

Another OT reply about the Sync Generator.  We had a couple of them running
our facility as well.  Backup were Grass Valley proc amps.  I finally got
the two Grass valley sync gens to run reliably so I removed the Riker.  Here
are two photos from my bedroom where I rented in the 70s while working at
KOLN-TV.  One a close up but not great.  I felt the wider shot would be of
interest as well for the equipment geeks among us, so there you are.  Gary
