Re: [vcf-midatlantic] PRIVATE Re: Lend VCF Commodore 1702 monitors for TV show
I would hope that they don't care about the front control doors missing from the monitors.The odds of finding that many 1702 monitors WITH doors, is very unlikely. On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 11:50 AM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

In 1982 what enterprise-level newspaper publishing system would be using brand-new C64's, the year the C64 was launched, for it's operations?
This is not the first time film/tv has requested props that were historically inaccurate, but wow, they're way off here if they think any newspaper office would have been using 40-column C64's for any professional purpose.

Jeff is already talking with the Head prop people about this very thing. It is an example of one dept not realizing the other had reached out to us already, so they are now coordinating to ask for exactly what they want. Jeff is the guy talking with them and he’s been updating the SC as it progresses, so he’s the one to address this further as he has all the gory details! Tony
