These are pictures of an install in China back in 1987. Bob Fonda and myself installed pretty much an entire tape duplication plant. Electro Sound 8000 bin loop, slaves, QC machine, audio cassette loaders, air compressor and dryer and other bits. As I remember about the only part of the package that we did not install was any of the studio or mastering equipment.

We flew into Zhengzhou (near Xian), then hired a cab to the factory that was located in Shangqiu.

One of the pictures shows Bob in discussion with the cabbie; another pic shows me in a car taking a picture of Bob in the back seat. The last picture shows Bob Fonda with the 8000 master and some slaves, apparently offering instruction on the operation of the Power Bin.

I was in China for about three weeks, Bob stayed longer. I remember getting on a train heading to Shanhai with my escort — who did not speak hardly a word of english! The airport was chaos, people waving and yelling trying to get on the flight, and with no one to help me or answer questions. It seemed kind of like what one imagine with old fashioned Wall Street trading. I really felt alone. I remember thinking that if I didn't get on the plane, I would be out wandering the streets of Shanghai lost, alone and in big trouble!
