What Projects did you bring back from ETV Convention?

[Dave A]

I had no room in the overhead storage on a RJ flight so I brought home many memories and more knowledge.

I lost count of the number of times various CT100 chassis were flipped around to get a pix on the prototype 15GP22 to show an image. The donors should be thanked for their allowing their chassis to be used. And the great 6BK4/6DB4 pin wiring discovery is a help to all of us.

I have help and leads coming on my RCA 1" tape deck and my quest for Akai 1/4" color tape decks. Not very historic in years but an interest of mine.

The auction was a field of dreams with the amount of quality and historic sets sold. Maybe a Meissner would have fit overhead. After the auction I talked to Chuck Azar about the Col-R-Tel attached to a Moto. Chuck used to sell the Col-R-Tel attached to the same Moto in his past days as a Moto dealer. He advised that the Moto is a perfect set for the Col-R-Tel and we are now looking at my moving my Col-R-Tel from a Philco to my twin of the Moto in the sale. Stand by.

The seminars were a world of information and education. CPA, Technicolor, color gamuts, Zenith, Jerome calling in on a hold-the-phone-to-the-mic update (broadcasting in 1963), and all the others. Each year brings new information as we move forward and our kind tries to keep ahead of the curve of lost information.

Baseball permitting, I will see you next year,
