[QuadList] One Inch A Format Recovery

[mike at bolandcom.com]

Ah yes, the Conrac AV12e and AV82e with UHF too... 
I used an AV12 to record ABC TV Olympics coverage
off-air for Australian ABC TV using a pair of HBC TR-
22s, in the evenings in Mt View, California, to then rush
the NTSC reels to SFO to 747 them to Sydney for
(presumably, conversion to PAL) broadcast down under. 
Although I understand there was some coverage of the
1964 Tokyo games distributed via satellite, my memory
is that good international global geo-stationary satellite
services were not practically in place until almost the
80s. 
The AV12E schematic looked a great deal like it was
lifted from an RCA television.  Good for internally
distributing the news of the other stations in your town
to your newsroom.  It was Clean, but had no special
circuits.  So, of course, for the official Station Demods
[FCC], was were where the Tek 1450s ruled the roost.

  Ah yes the  Conrac  tuner... we have one  with  TUBES in it also!
   
  The  picture is pretty  good  for  going though all that !
   
  Back to the  Conrac tuner... were these  used in stations as  
'monitoring devices'  or  to pick up  signals for retransmission  or?
   
  many thanks   Ed #

Let's see if the quad list will post this email. 

Ed,

Here is an OTA recording made in 1974 from a University in Texas. The 
record machine was a VR-7800 in high-band. The receiving antenna was 
about 40 miles from the transmitter. Off air reception was not 
the best via a Conrac vacuum tube tuner. The TV station was running 
RCA TK-44A's.
