More on Eisenhower 1958 dedication WRC-TV colour videotape

[Dave A]

And a big cheer for your efforts with quad and preserving the information! With Ed Reitan and the rest of the elder statesmen of quad in your corner, you will do well.

I was lucky...read old...enough to be around for quad at my old station in Rockford, IL. I was a kid director that the engineers...also kids...seemed to like and would let me touch their RCA TR's. I think I could still thread and set up a quad today.

When I started there, one of my jobs was to go to the Railway Express Agency depot to pick up that weeks supply of some show called The Phil Donahue Show on the what was called the "bicycle". We got five and shipped five to the next station. This place looked like something from an old western movie.

Before I wander too far and be convicted of hijacking the thread, I hope the Eisenhower tape can be made public for all fans of early tv to enjoy with your help. I would very much like to hear the story of how this tape was restored.
