Henry,
    Sorry I have not been in touch re the above.  I spent most of this past 
week in bed in a stupor.  Some killer flu. High fever, throat swollen shut, 
dizzy, the usual. I finally staggered into work Friday and gave up after a 
couple of hours. Today my head at least seems to be operating on the same 
planet as the rest of the body. Mary had this the week before and the kids 
the week before that. Something you want to avoid if at all possible.  I 
haven't been this sick since I was four years old and ate five pounds of 
cherry cordials in half an hour.

BTW, Chicagoland Public Television has three Vinten Fulmar pedestals that we 
are trying to find a home for.  This are the big old guys with the three 
small humps inside the wheels -- like NBC in 1960. In addition to the big 
steering ring, they also have a secondary handle for a dolly grip to use if 
so desired.  In beautiful condition, rebuilt by Vinten about three or four 
years ago.  They just kind of overawe BVP 900 cameras.  Vinten tells us that 
they don't support them anymore as an OSHA issue.  They operate at over 500 
PSI and take about half a tank of gas to load up.  Otherwise, they are real 
beauties.  Everything works very smoothly on them. If we can't find somebody 
that wants to use them, they are going to the recycler.  We would give them 
to anybody that would come pick them up at 450# or so each, delivery is not 
possible. We do have a forklift for putting them into a truck, FOB.  Getting 
them off at the other end would be another consideration. If one of your 
charities would be interested in receiving them, let me know.  There might 
even been some Mark III heads around for them.  We are phasing the Mark III 
out for some reason in favor of the Vector 70.  The station is a little 
dodgey about giving stuff to Channel 56.  Something about their being our 
competition.  ??  I gave some Vidifonts  and 528 WFM, and a pile of U-matics 
to them, and had my asshole adjusted for a larger fit.  But anybody else in 
Indiana, or a school would be fair game, for instance.  Or if one of your 
video cronies wants them for historic items that would work too.  Fact is, 
once they leave the back door, who knows where they go?
Bob
