color:#1F497D'>Thanks for jogging my memory Phil. I should have known it
was you but my memory is showing my age. I too worked a short time
in this “audit” room. Along with John Nash, Nigel Stoddard (now in Buenos
Aires) and the rest of the group from Jersey Isle. We indeed did fix the
infant mortality issues by cycling the machines for 100 hours in all
modes. Unfortunately, this took the best 100 hours off the heads and
guide except for the first few I guess. But the customer did get a better
machine because of it. But we all knew time was running out in general for
RCA. Most of us were contract workers. I still have all the manuals
for those machines tucked away in California somewhere waiting for a better
home. I would guess the best of those machines ended up at Action Video
in LA where Dave Tosch (former RCA) made them work quite well in post
production. I never ran into any others. There are lots of
war stories but left for a different thread or group if necessary. Gary</span><o:p></o:p></p>
