available. Bidding starts at $9. Shipping will be the expensive
part. Almost $140.</FONT></DIV>

60's. The x-ray department had one that was used to record the
catheterizations and other procedures. Made decent pictures.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Brings back old memories. A small UHF
station I started at in the 70's experimented with helical 7800's and a 660.
Quad survived those early years, helical was just too fragile for our crew at
that time. Note the oxide side is OUT on a 2" 660 reel. If I remember correctly,
the tape formulation was different too. Monochrome only. Decent
external time-base correction was not available at that time. No internal
TBC, so these were popular in educational institutions. Barely acceptable to put
them on the air (video looked OK, but you better hope grandma's TV had a good
horizontal sync circuit).</FONT></DIV>
