color:#1F497D'>Since this is a Quad group, I will share my short story about
Art Mairose. He used to rebuild ACR-25 Cart Machines since there were many in
the LA and nearby areas. He would pick it up from the TV station and bring it
to his shop in Burbank and completely rebuild it. When I first met Art, we
were going to offer rebuild of the TCR-100 Cart machine and I was going to do
that part. Sort of a full feature service facility. But that didn’t happen as
we were both quite busy doing many other things. Art built several transfer
and telecine facilities. Dubs most notable, VidFilm in Glendale, but was
involved in others. His wife Sarah was also in the business but I have lost
track of her since I left the area. He definitely was well versed in Ampex
gear. Much more so than I with RCA gear. I’m glad we didn’t rebuild TCR-100s
in the shop. The transport alone would probably undo any good work that I
would have done. Much easier to do it on site, but Art was much more thorough
and it probably would have survived nicely.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
