Odds & Ends
This is where everything that has no place... has a place!

	A Klystron Story with an Unhappy Ending Here are some pictures of an old GE 110kw UHF transmitter being re-installed at a midwestern TV station. It also shows a catastrophic meltdown failure. An engineer's nightmare! Have a look!
	We spent some of our lost youth catching bullets in mid-air. Here are some pictures of balloons and vacuum tubes with bullets caught on camera. Have a look!
	Well, it may not be legal, but it sure is fun! Have a look at a masterpiece. Have a look!
	Remember Phone Phreaking? I do! And here's some historical information about it. Have a look!
	Back in the early 1980s, WVEM-FM moved out of its downtown studio. Here is a video of the tower being dis-assembled. NOTE: the file was transferred from a multi-generation, SLP VHS. It's historical... but very low quality. Watch it here!
	A map to Custom Video Systems Company.
	A trip into the RCA history of production quadruplex videotape recorders. Here you will find operations and maintenance manuals for the RCA Tape Editing Programmer (TEP) as well as the videotape accessory Chroma Amplitude and Velocity Error Correction (CAVEC). There are also two manuals for the TR-70 series VTR as well as a demonstration brochure for the timecode editing system - the TCE-100. Have a look!
	The Sony MV-10000 - a 2" helical production videotape recorder. Sony only made a few of these 2" helical production video tape recorders. Here is one of them in operation with an RCA TR-61 (a TR-60 with the TR-70C digital servo system). Have a look!
