Diners of New England 1991 documentary WCSH channel 6 Portland, Maine

Bob Elliot presents New England Diners, a 1991 documentary filmed for WCSH channel 6 in Portland, Maine. Features interviews with operators and patrons of diners, as well as with a restoration company. Covered are places like the Modern Diner in Pawcatuck RI, the Lady Worcester Diner and Chadwick Square Diner in Worcester MA, Gilley's Diner in Portsmouth NH, Lloyd's Diner in Orange MA, the A1 Diner in Gardiner ME, Casey's Diner in Natick MA, the Seagull Diner in Kittery ME, the Riverview Diner (which moved from Harris PA to Maine), and more.

BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, old TV news segments, made-for-TV movies and documentaries, religious programming, variety shows, talk show interviews, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area and some from New England.
