Hi,
My late father told me he was on a music show called “Pad 9″, on Channel 9 in Perth. His name was Ross Bradshaw and he was a guitarist with the band, The Dymensions. The Dymensions became the show’s house band for a short while and were popular amongst the “Stomps” of the mid 1960’s.
Vince Lovegrove was the band’s lead singer, and went on to front a band with Bon Scott, called The Valentines. He also managed the band, Divinyls, produced documentaries about his wife and son who died of AIDS. One was titled, “A Kid Called Troy.”
Have you heard of the TV show, “Pad 9″, and if so, do any remaining episodes exist?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Sharon

I believe there are a lot more operating Steenbeck’s around Australia than what is suggested here. I have a variety of 4 & 6 plate 16mm units plus
35mm Steenbecks, including scope/wide image. Also have 16 & 35mm Moviola,,
some of the 16mm Steenbeck’s came from places like ABC & Channel 9…
Purchased long ago when Networks, turned to “betacam”& did it on the cheap.

For what it is worth, I also have an operable Steenbeck that I recently obtained a new timing belt set for. The belts are of a unique 6mm tooth pitch which has become obsolete or very, very uncommon. If you are chasing parts for Steenbeck ST1600 or near vintage, an outfit in the US, findable at http://www.cutfilm.com can supply them plus updated plug-in modules. The proprietor is a Steenbeck specialist.

Hi Geoff, Terry & Daryl.
Good to see this. Sad to hear of the old station’s demise. I remember odd bits, like the Sunday “Spency” brought in pizza…& the morning I used my Cortina to jump-start the helicopter.
and some names…like Errol Considine, Mike Haanapel, Caroline Van Der Gaag.
Other names I can’t recall…Terry’s secretary (she also did the autocue), the film editor with the dark beard….& what’s-his-name at the “hamburger stand”.
I think I still have a copy of a xmas tape on 1/2″ tape cassette. Allan

Sounds like the guys have done a stirling job with 9s film – but I’m a bit concerned that they seem to be using metal cans (from the photos in the article). Unfortunately if this is the case it will lead to far faster deterioration of the film than plastic cans. I also wonder if they have stored the sound and image reels separately? If they are stored together any sound reels that have been affected with vinegar syndrome will then infect the image reels they are stored with. FYI the ABC in Perth also has a working Steenbek and a spare for parts.
