Last I talked to him, Mark Heyer of Heyer Associates was working with
the Panasonic players. He is a great guy and will work with those
needing videodisc services using this gear. Even if you just want to
chat, I'm sure that he can give you some information. He is based in
Palo Alto, Ca. and his home phone number is 415-328-8269 (call at
reasonable hours please.)

Add me to the list of satisfied TQ-3031F owners. The guy I got it and
our entire image processing setup from is Wyndham Hannaway of G. W.
Hannaway and Associates in Boulder, CO. He'll help make your movies as
well as sell you gear and do custom video/image processing/3d graphics/etc.
Sounds like Heyer is a similar dude, just thought I'd mention Wyndham for
completeness. Phone is (303) 440-9631, he particularly likes solving problems
for scientists.
