The Quad Move

Back in 1992, when I had a company called Pacific Video Productions, in Eugene, Oregon, I was given four 2“ quad video tape recorders. They were originally from a local TV station, then went to the the technical school. They finally gave them to me. I rented a truck to haul them home to my studio. I eventually got two of them to work as you’ll see here. I put two in storage out on a friends farm where one fell off the truck while unloading it. I was lucky I didn’t get squashed by it! When new, these cost around $75,000 each! With technology advances, they couldn’t give them away. 1“ tape took over.
