<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Scott,<BR>Back in 1985 I worked for Tele-Image
& helped them open their facility there at Las Colinas. They had previously
had an office in Carrollton for some years. At the time, the new place was quite
a facility, designed by one of my all time favorite engineers, Dennis Morton.
They bought two second hand AVR-3's for spot duplication; one from the Osmond
Production Company in Utah & the other from the Southern Baptist Convention,
as I recall. I spooled off thousands of dubs from those machines. I think they
may be the quads you are referring to. I took a gig with Disney in 1988 &
left the Dallas area for central Florida. Subsequent mergers happened with
Tele-Image in the coming months & years - I believe they merged with Dallas
Post & became Pyramid Teleproductions & Blue Cactus came some time
later. I still had a lot of friends there that endured some of those changes. I
couldn't tell you where the AVR-3's ended up, but I still communicate with some
of my friends from there. I will ping them & find out what they
know.<BR>Best Regards,<BR>Rob Mobley</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>My brother worked at a post house in Dallas named "Blue Cactus Post"
between 1995 and 1996. This place was an amalgamation of two or more
facilities; one being "Pyramid" I believe. (lots of GVG-300 and
ADO-1000).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In the back were two AVR-2 machines. When the facility went bust and
everything was up for auction, I had thought of driving a van over and getting
one. Even Tim Stoffel told me that it would be a good deck for a beginning
Quad collector, partially because it would run on 110VAC.</DIV>

<DIV>Any idea where the Dallas AVR-2's went?</DIV>
