John, Bob,
Reading this at 04:00 AM in Paris and feeling depressed.
Even though i've known this info since 48 hours, i feel that the
"big silence/zero reply" from the TV collector community is not a good show of support for two TV collectors/engineers/afficianados who went WAY beyond & all stops removed to get those darn 15Gs to work again.
Come on guys! let's have a round of applause and Kudos for John and Bob for all their efforts over the last 5-6 years to get 15Gs rebuilt. What they have done is not in vain, and even though the announced closing of Hawkeye is a serious blow, the knowledge gained lives on and will be applied successfully at the future ETF rebuild site or elsewhere.
The ETF meeting takes place next month, why not have John and Bob as guests of honor of a diner at this get-together. I, for one, will gladly contribute to this project (Steve; practicalities?)
Come on Gentlemen! let's show some support and honor properly these two outstanding members of our close-knit early TV community.
Best Regards
jhalphen
Paris/France
