Marjanovic, former Ampex factory engineer and currently Consulting in Wiesbaden, Germany.</div><div>Mike Bitetti, longtime Quad, Telecine and daVinci trained engineer in Savannah, Georgia</div><div>Bruce Hancock</div><div>John Fletcher</div><div>Rick Wold</div><div>are among our most recent additions.</div><div><br></div><div>We have members in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and now Germany.</div><div><br></div><div>Several folks subscribed with only their e-mail addresses. We'd like you to add your names, please and pipe up from time to time.</div><div><br></div><div>When you subscribe, it cool to introduce yourself in a post, as Ryan Schweitzer did this weekend. You may find that others you know are already here and will say hello on-line or directly.</div><div><br></div><div>----</div><div><br></div><div>If you've been working on some interesting Quad transfer projects, Quad restorations, need some help with a balky machine, or have some tips to offer from your experience, please feel free to share. </div><div><br></div><div>That's why the group is here: To share about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; ">The Recorders, Recording, Playback, Maintenance, Equipment Design and Tape Preservation and the Preservation of Knowledge about these subjects so that knowledge can be used by new people today or years from now to preserve the content contained on Quad tapes.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div></span><div>----</div><div><br></div><div>I'm wondering whether folks would be interested in a weekly "classifieds" list? It could be for items you need or want to sell, jobs available or sought, manuals available or needed, for example.</div><div><br></div><div>If so, e-mail me <a href="mailto:ted@quadvideotapegroup.com">ted@quadvideotapegroup.com</a> and put "Classified item--for sale" etc. in the subject line. I'll compile them and try to be regular about posting them on Saturday or Sunday each week.</div><div><br></div><div>Be descriptive. A photo or two can be included. Make sure your contact information and location is included so people don't call you at 3 a.m. when its afternoon in their part of the world.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Birthday!</div><div><br></div><div>Ted</div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Ted Langdell</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Secretary</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#0018ea" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; color: rgb(0, 24, 234); "></font></div></div></div></span> </div><br></body></html>
