As you guys with more gray hair than I have know, slides used to be a BIG deal.

Semi-related question -- what are the makes of the multi-track tape machine and the recording
console in the big studio? Note also the Rutt-Etra Video Synthesizer, the Ampex AG-440-4 and the
Nagra deck.
Here's another AAV promo, more aimed at potential clients:

Slide-production stuff shown here too.
