When its West 7th Street studio was condemned for a highway off-ramp, the State of Arkansas bought all of the KAAY equipment and then auctioned it as scrap. Pat Walsh was waiting and bought a lot that included the KAAY Ampex 351's for a few cents per pound. Those tape machines were still in service at Cottondale Lane in 1983, although by that time very little advertising was being recorded on them.Hollis W.

I'm pretty sure we had some of the Ampex 351s at KARN in the 70s, and Alpha Productions (the production wing of the Snider Corp. in the 70s) used the Ampex AG-440. I got to sub for Alpha manager Ted Small one week while he was on vacation. The highlight was getting to run a recording session with John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.<br /><br />Skip KendelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
