enough about them to know which one; a model number wasn't evident on
the machine) at South Carolina Educational TV. What a thrill to see a
tape threaded and played back on that beast! <br>

I offer: <br>
<br>
In the mid 70's, I worked at WIS-TV in Columbia, SC not far from
SCETV's network operations center (the old one). At that time, SCETV
had a couple of AVR-1's. Sammy, what year did you see those quads in
action? <br>
The last time I was there in 1979, in addition to the AVR-1's, they
had a bunch of upright consoles which housed 1-inch VTR's. I've never
seen that type of machine since. The memory is dim; I don't know who
made those 1-inch VTR's. I'm sure that they were not RCA, but they
could have been made by either Ampex or Sony. I'm also pretty sure
that they weren't VPR-3's (this was in 1979 so it was too early for
VPR-3's). The consoles were wide, sort of like those quad machines we
saw a while ago here, mounted in an airplane for the Army. They might
have been specially built consoles just for SCETV, not sure. <br>
