I have about 700 quad tapes in 3 television collections. I have some
identification on about 98% of them. I also have a working VT1200,
which I am using to master and capture this material. So far it's been
working well, I've come across some "sticky" tapes which I will not put
back on my machine, but plenty of the tapes from the early 1970s are
transferring nicely. I've done 30 titles to date.<br>
<br>
If anyone on this list is planning on attending the Midwest Archives
Conference in late April, I will be holding an open house featuring my
media lab and collections and you are all welcome to attend. I think
the event will be scheduled on the afternoon of April 29th.<br>

<div>The December issue of Broadcast Engineering has an article on
page 90 about archiving. In the article, it refers to "enormous
libraries of quad videotape will be unplayable in a few years" (due to
lack of operating equipment).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone have any reliable info regarding how much quad
material is still out there? My impression has been that most
broadcast stations have already disposed of their quad tape. I
wouldn't think there was much 1" left either.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If no data has been compiled, perhaps a publication such as BE
could run a survey to help determine how much material is still on the
shelves and what demand really exists for its archival.</div>
