Subject: [QuadList] Western Australia TV--Look for the RCA TRT delay system<br>
<br>
<div id=AOLMsgPart_3_cd2130c9-87fd-4dbe-9f63-84635ebb6e35>
<div>And now for something totally different:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just ran across the Western Australia TV History site, and this page:</div>
<div><A href="http://watvhistory.com/2009/03/peter-croft-evolution-of-transmission-facilities/" target=_blank>http://watvhistory.com/2009/03/peter-croft-evolution-of-transmission-facilities/</A></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>which has a lot of Quad pix and a good story to tell.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>About a third of the way down, you'll see a delay system with tube TRT machine feeding tape over to a TR-3? for playback. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ampex ACR-25's are present... along with other Ampex and RCA Quads.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What's interesting is that Type C BVH-2000P's replaced many of the Quads, but they were using Bosch BCN B-format machines for time zone delay.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Scroll all the way town for a collection of pix with a lot of quads to be seen, and an HS-200 disc recorder.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It shows that Quad was still being used in 1992... via the ACR-25's, and there's a C/U of the head assembly and vacuum columns on an AVR-1 in 1996.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This collection is also on Flicker:</div>
<div><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/watvhistory/3365509644/" target=_blank>http://www.flickr.com/photos/watvhistory/3365509644/</A> shows the VT area... with a pair of TR-60s opposite AVR-1's.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have fun!</div>
