I worked at WKMG (nee WCPX) for a year and was involved in a redesign of the station. I worked with a Century III ex-patriot named Curtis Sponsler. Know him?</div><div><br></div><div>I was in Blue Cactus a couple of times. I'm pretty sure the two machines were AVR-2's. They were in a storage area in the back and not in the equipment area. I'll see if I kept a copy of the auction list.</div><div><br></div><div>Can't find the list. They were much smaller than the VR-1200's and RCA TR-70's I had been around.</div><div><br></div><div>In Googling for the info, I found a post I made in 2009 on the Quadlist in response to Park. He said that he had an edit session in Dallas on AVR-2's. Don't know where though.</div><br><div><div>On Dec 5, 2010, at 5:17 AM, Rob Mobley wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; 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: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><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> </div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">Winter Garden, FL</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Arial"><a href="mailto:robmob@cfl.rr.com">robmob@cfl.rr.com</a></font></div><div> </div></div></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
