color:#1F497D'>Regarding electric, I spoke w/ the electricians today and they
are not going to cut power to the building for a couple of months. They
promise we’ll have plenty of notice. The building is a really neat
building…it was once a broadcast station (radio broadcast). It
looks very “cold-war-ish”. It would be really neat to shoot a
Si-Fi movie in this building before they take out all the old equipment.
If any of you are Termintor fans and if you saw T-3, where the two main
characters end up in the bunker at the end of the movie…this building
looks sort of like that…with old analog gauges, tube based broadcasting
equipment, large (LARGE) control panels and rows and rows of racks (which,
unfortunately are empty now).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>I don’t know if our plan in the future is to move the
machines. My challenge is that I don’t have room in my facility for
them. As mentioned…this place isn’t ideal, but it is
OK. At least it is relatively clean and secure (although the air
conditioning leaves something to be desired…but that is one of the things
they are fixing). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I can tell you that I’ve learned a lot. The engineer
who did most of the work on these is familiar w/ the Ampex machines and worked
on AVR-1s and AVR-3s in the past. It just took a little research to get
familiar with the TR-600’s. When I look at what it took to operate
these machines as compared to today, today’s videotape operators don’t
know how good they have it… They just push a tape in and hit go…
I must say I am really enjoying the learning experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
