  Hello from the States!

I used to be a VT operator/cameraman/dogsbody for my high school television station in the 70s. It's great to see how things were done by the big boys. I especially enjoyed the Christmas videos. Got any more?

Thanks a lot for sharing!

  hello, what a great dealve into the
world of what sound replication was all
about. It's very easy these days to record sound to a high standard and then digitally manipulate, re-arrange and create some fantastic mutation, but back in the old days it took days to do things that now takes 2-3 minutes.
I know from experimentation, disasters and sheer frustration how difficult it was to get a sound and tell it what you'd like it to do for you, believe me, IT WAS WORTH IT.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Tony Warot.

  I have looked at this site often over the years- very interesting and a lot of work gone into it. I am restoring a BBC Type 2 scanner (CMCR9)- there was an item about it in Prospero recently.
Have a look at my projects on our website at www.vintageradio.co.uk/htm/tvprojects
I collect studio equipment and just found that I have a 1"VTR that is on your database- a VPR2B, marked VTR212 which was ex-OUPC at Milton Keynes. The head drum drivehas packed up but I will get around to it eventually, fortunately have all the manuals. I think it is important to keep some of these machines going for the future. I have a few 'C' format- Sony 1100, 2000, 3100. Anyone familiar with the Sony 'head drum won't get up to speed' syndrome? Keep up the good work. Steve.

  Hi, prompted by the Engineering Designs Department annual lunch and assisted by John Sykes giving me the url I looked up the site, which is great.

I have a whole pile of photogrpahs from the time when I was part of VT Maintenance in the early '70s and when I was with Brian Jenkinson in VT Investigations. I'll scan them and offer them to you.

I also have a number of old Ampex manuals for hte C format machines which were about to go to the skip ...

And I note that the Convergence dit controller is not included in the electronic editing systems. I may have some pictures from when we used it for the royal wedding and on Triangle. It was used more in TV News with the Sony U-matics at the start of the ENG systems. Again, if I can find them I'll scan some pictures and send them to you.

The other coincidence I noted from the guest book was the reference to Westcountry Television. I had the fun (?) of being the project director building it in 1992.

Cheers

Stephen
