[QuadList] QuadList Digest, Vol 106, Issue 9 - eBay VR1200s

Thu Apr 27 03:11:24 CDT 2017

Hi Howard. 
HEH HEH! SORRY >> No time  for  face time  for a while  ...  try us in 6 
months. I did not even get to NAB this year between leg  issues, press  work, 
and just not enough time. Besides I owe my   wife some time..

I had  some kind  of  lung  stuff.. for a while too...  it  was  weird..  
due  to smoking in my youth   obliviously I do not  go out and run anymore... 
but this  was   horrible... I would walk form the  house to the  car and 
just be  completely out  of  breath..  I think start  to finish it  was about 
2 months?

It was  funny!
 We needed to clean out one of the warehouse  building sections  on the 
property  of  old  books  from back when  the  buildings were  bookstore and a 
couple friends  just sat me in the  middle of the  sort area, I put a good 
particle mask on,  and   they moved out the  crates over towards me and I 
triaged them into  3  sets of  crates... 1-  books I wanted to read   2 - stuff 
 for museum library and 3 - the huge amounts   ... hundreds and  hundreds 
of  pounds...  books that  were to be  donated. 

What a day -  Got through it!  About another  1/3 of the  building top go 
though and better  do it before it is  110 degrees.  Need the  space to stash 
 some teletype iron desks,  racks,  

The  entire  RCA  products  display is  moving to  another part of the 
building and  am working slow.   We  did  not get much  done this  winter..  
alas no time   for  sit and  talk until I get some of these things  finished.  
there is never  a 'short visit' we  did have a nice    visit  when  we had 
the donut raid cross town!

But wait! there is...  More! 

Then to  make things even crazier  we inherited huge   library on 
Hydroelectric  Dams, engineering books on power generation,  transmission and 
distribution with a nice  chunk on  REA. 9 We love  our  REA  Stuff) Crates and 
crates... We  have a pretty   good section on Ele G,T and D  so comparing  
volumes, deciding   on which to keep etc. Time consuming...

If you want to see 'stuff'  check the  web site in the  meantime.  Remember 
we  only have a slice of  video tape stuff on  display.   Remember  VTR's 
are a small part of  what  we  do.

Things are going to get even crazier if  we  get   display  for our  
historic avionics  collection out at the  airport.. but in a good  way... a pain 
to move and re house the stuff  but  2 advantages... 1 - it will put it in 
front of the  aviators  and some of the old plane history folks   and      2-  
give more  room to display more of the studio cameras.

When the RCA stuff  moves  to a fresh room that  will   leave  huge  glass 
walk in  that  can be taken  over  by  some of the vintage computing  
devices,

Gee, it must be very lonely for that poor TR-5, since  it is impossible for
anyone to ever visit your museum. My office is 20  minutes away and I have
been trying to come by and say hello for over two  years and have given  up!

Cheers-

Howard

There are two VR 1200 A models listed.  You are bidding on these as a
package.  Both have editors and one has  Editec installed.  One is missing
Colortec.  Neither appears to  have much in the way of accessories for great
playback

Look at this  on eBay
