Our open days were a great success, even though Sunday's weather was horribly wet.
Thanks to a valiant effort by Trevor Brown and Paul Marshall our TR70 2" quadruplex VTR was fully working and showing excellent pictures. These are very complex machines and needed frequent skilled attention when in service. Back then each fault was fixed as it happened. Trevor is one of the few engineers anywhere who fully understands these machines and was capable of tracing the dozen or more problems that had accumulated. He was helped by having a complete spare machine from which he could borrow modules. This was the one that came from the collection of the late Lucien Nunes Vaz.
Next open days are on 14/15 September as part of Heritage Open Days. A shame we clash with Biggleswade on the 15th but our date was fixed a long time ago while Biggleswade has been moved at least once.
