<DIV>I've heard that sentiment expressed before. I've always thought that
it was extremely odd that WBTV got the first RCA VTRX, given the fact that
they had always been (and still are) a CBS affiliate. In fact the
station, radio and TV, was almost totally RCA. But another oddity
there was that the production arm of the company which had its own studio in the
same building was an "RCA Free" zone with nothing from Camden in sight.</DIV>

<DIV>This was a stand alone unit that came from a long time CBS affiliate in
the mid west. The station was all Ampex VTR's and GE cameras (no RCA gear
whatsoever). I asked the CE why he had no RCA equipment. The answer: "they are
the enemy". </DIV>

<DIV>I know hat the Shibaden units were almost direct copies of the Ampex
units. The only difference was that the units were metric in several
areas. The only difference that I could find were that there was the
addition of a video gain pot in either the Amtec or Colortec
electronics. Otherwise they were carbon copies. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So what is the unit that you have? Unknown by me but it is not for
any machine that I have seen in the literature. </DIV>
