Before we all wax nostalgic about quad, recall the ACR quad cart players. A fiendish combination of a mechanical storage wheel, sliding claw, vacuum to suck the tape up over the optical audio reader and speeding tape heads, all driven by primitive 1970's electronic "computers". A more unreliable piece of shit I had never worked on before, nor since. If one ran a complete shift it was a major feckin miracle.
