Good point. I forgot there was a time when this was
done. There was a
short blurb on the CBS news the other week that mentioned the paucity of
working Ampex videotape machines. Apparently there is one organization or
person still able to rebuild and maintain these.
It is not like that at all. Last Sunday I was talking to a friend
about the old 2 inch video decks, and how many are in operational
condition, and he said "about 50". There are plenty of places that
maintain these machines for not-quite-everyday use.
