Lloyd Taylor has Died

Lloyd Taylor and myself pictured in the local press

Lloyd Taylor died this last January, he had brain and lung cancer. The picture was taken for a fund raiser that we did to offset all the bills and to provide some living expenses as he had to stop working.

At the fund raiser Lloyd sold or gave to his friends his art and sports collection.

Just Talked to Ron Newdoll

I just talked to Ron, and asked him for a pic and some words on him and his business. Without further ado:

Ronald Newdoll started his career in San Angelo, Texas, where he formed Accurate Sound Corporation to design, sell and install complete recording studios and then expanded into the audio tape duplication business.

He moved to Silicon Valley in the 1980s. While working in the music industry, he recorded Pope John Paul II’s speeches made during his historic visit to Mexico in 1979. He produced a wonderful 3-CD collection of the speeches in Spanish along with original music specially composed by Mexico’s most famous musicians and songwriters in a classical style.

Ron also developed his own line of Logging Recorders to record radio and telephone calls for police departments, 911 call centers, hospitals, call centers, airports, etc.

Ron started a new business, Newdoll Enterprises, that mainly will focus on the renewable energy market

Electro Sound 8000 Duplicator In Production!

Here is a shot of a 8000 system — while perhaps not in daily use — is in use. I was trying to think when the 8000 slaves were last produced; ten, twenty, thirty years ago?

Richard (Doc) Flaherty

I just spoke to Richard and asked him to send me a picture to post up on the blog. Here it is!

Richard works at Rainbo Records, and I was surprised when Richard said that they are still running their Electro Sound 8000 slaves! They have eight slaves, a Guass Mini DAAD (if that name is correct), King 790s, Apex and such.
