[SBE] Congratulations DTV

[Edwin Bukont]

Clay,

 

you left off getting pneumonia from the breeze of an empty 2" reel at full fast wind speed, or possibly loosing fingers in the reel, 

 

or learning the difference between in stopping a fast winding VTR: 2"..let the tape end go through the head stack, and 1", slow it down and hand thread it out of the head stack.  Doing otherwise could cost the station $1,000s and cost you a job.

 

And the can of compressed air for keeping an old RCA 2" running.  Or running nearly 5 mins of bars and tones to get the thing stable before air.

 

The sprint across a tape room when trying to align gun shot sounds to change reels.  

 

The whine of some of those machines coming up to speed sounded a whole lot like the big fans in a parking garage.

Ah hah....Some 'tape talk'
 
Lets long remember -
 

> The difference between scalloping and skewing

> The 10 second pre-roll (before the discovery of the 2nd use for head-override)

> The sounds of a TCR100 and how it reminded you of a lube-bay at a truck stop.

> Those little Red boxes

> Lifting a BIG reel of 2 inch onto a machine (in those green boxes) 

> The foot switch for break release.

> Attenpting to edit

> Ampex and RCA

> The wonderful contributions of Allen

 
Oh the memories .....I could go on and on.

Guess we can all sit on the 'back porch' and pine for the good old days.
