Quad Videotape Group members went to a different restaurant in Savannah just as it was closing, but talked their way in to a good meal.
Seated around a table like “Meet the Press,” they kept a close ear on Myron Lenenski playing Tim Russert with Pat Shevlin as the guest.

A Quad was present at the Vendor Cafe, shipped in from New York City.
As the song goes, “Something happened along the way…” causing DuArt Chief Engineer Maurice Schecter to spend several hours with tweaker in hand.
The Ampex VR-3000 portable did make a picture, but not to member Maurice’s satisfaction.
An Ampex playback processor was used, along with a digital TBC to recover an upstate New York NBC affiliate’s off-network recording of Billy Joel on Saturday Night Live.
