They are both in excellent shape. I’m just an audio guy. don’t know how to work these things. Maybe I could learn…but that makes me sweat. HA!

They were interviewing Ron Noonan, the President of Lex at the time and were attempting to position the product as an “evil type of device” that altered the directors intent by making movies go faster so that broadcasters could fill in an extra commercial or two. In typical fashion the interviewer was attempting to get Ron to squirm in his chair while being berated in the polite style of 60 Minutes. Ron was un-seatable however. He was ready with the sales figures that showed CBS was in fact one of Lexicon’s best customers with purchases of almost a dozen units in less than a year. That part never made it to air…
