Personally I hate quad. Always had to be optimized, optical audio readers that had to be very clean. Don't even get me started on the machines that played 2" commercials- huge beasts that drew the cartridge out of a wheel with a claw, a vacuum that sucked the tape 3 feet up and across the heads and optics. Talk about a nightmare! The tv station I worked at in San Francisco got a call from Ampex asking if they would donate the machines to their museum.

One station I worked for had a big AMPEX cart machine. We called it The Octopus.
Another station had a big RCA built cart machine. We called it, The Monster.
