Worked on Sony VP-1800 thru VP-7000 machines. Had this amazing Ampex 1" machine and, an old 2" machine they use to do crash edits on. Field camera guys would carry BVU-110's. They would take them from the air conditioning into 90 degree, high humidity and yell at me about condensation alarms! Then, there were the 250, RCA Lyceum's (tube type) we had to keep running at the USNA. Remember the pull-out adjustment drawer? ColorTrac? Then, getting zapped by capacitance of the CRT! Good 'ol days of broadcast engineering! I do miss the tube days. Every so often they would make sure your heart was still beating. Start and stop it to verify. I got to the point that I didn't react to a shock, since the reaction could hurt you more than the shock. Semiconductors are for pansies! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Ever mouth off to a stew on a commercial flight? Quick way to jail! ER nurses are now being trained to protect a dangerous patient at the risk of the nurse. Just a thought! Glad I'm retired, my priorities differ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
