Actually, these guys keep EVERYTHING. Like litelarly everything. It’s a TV station, so basically there is no need for the old equipment to be hooked up to PCs, cuz it’s just used to digitalize old tapes, but still, these things are huge, so you need a shitload of storage. Luckily, they have it, so it’s not a problem.
I sometimes feel like treasure hunting when looking for parts, lol. I’m the IT guy there, but if it’s a small fix, I sometimes do the tape players as well. Head change and stuff like that, not really a problem. Anything bigger, let’s see what we got in the pile… well, waddaya know, here is one that works, here ya go 😁.
