[Tig] More memories please (painful ones)

[Bill Topazio]

I still like image orbiters, keeping with your outer space theme.

And guess who got to cut and resolder one of those horse___s when the
studio was moved and the new cable chase was too small!

I also got the job of replacing one of those 80-some odd pin edge
connectors used in the electronics bay doors on an AVR-1 after someone
(else) mis-seated a board.

right, that's the term.  I remember the connectors for those cameras,  
they amazed me in having something like 70+ pins, in a circular  
connector, and woe behold the studio manager (me) who dropped one,  
fixing could take a day.  They had an affectionate name, those  
connectors and their semi-flexible coupling, having something to do  
with a part of a stallion's anatomy; the cables and connectors were  
extremely heavy.   Then triax came along...
