That might be the one. It was in PA though, that much I remember. When I moved up to Zoo Paltz, "New Paltz Telecable" was owned by Russ Bogie who owned an RCA repair shop. Same story. Now it's TimeWeenie like most of the rest of the Hud5on Valle4 these days. Before TW got it though, it had been bought up by Alan Gerry who owned a larger system called "Cablevision Systems" down in Middletown. Concentration in the industry wasn't a pretty sight at all. :(At the time though, I worked for Bogie's competitor at another TV shop and when Bogie first lit up a brand new thing called "HBO" out of Florida by satellite, Bogie had been testing it before rolling it out. My boss and I rigged up a Zenith in the store Window that I had modified to decode the "sync suppression scrambling" that early HBO used with Magnavox decoder boxes and BOY was Bogie pissed! Heh. He cut up the drop wire from the pole to the store into little two inch pieces of coax. :) Yeah, early cable was a lot of fun. Today it sucks. And life goes on. :) |
