<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm one of the hundreds of guys who spent a
lifetime in the quad world but not in the big-time. A whole bunch of us were out
in the boonies at local sub-prime stations and (in my case) government
post-production facilities. As such, I have this little piece of
interesting 2-inch tape history - the Sony MV-10000. I had one of the very
few 2-inch color helical VTRs in production use. We used the same tape
stock that we fed our TR-70Bs with. We ran an ETV mass-dubbing
facility and would dub off the master quad program to the MV-10000 for the
many-multiple dubbing pass. I have yet to stumble across anyone else who
has even seen one of these beasties. I thought you all might be
interested to see the operations and sales manual as it makes its way from
my scanner to the trash can.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In an effort to climb out from under a lifetime of
quad stuff in my closets, I came across these documents as well as a complete
set of TR-70A manuals with TEP (yes, we edited with TEP and timecode) and
CAVEC. I've finally sold all my heads and test tapes.</FONT></DIV>
