It is no secret that I am a big fan of Michael Iceberg. He was  amazing.
 
He is a sample of his brilliance.

I've seen every video. In fact I have been trying to get in touch with him. 
 He lives 45 minutes away.

How do you know this? Any idea what he was using? I suspect it was a  
remote. Where did they go?

I met the guy back in the late 70's or early 80's. Spent a nice amount of time explaining some of his gear and 1 or 2 Chamberlins were remote, wired controllers.
Very talented and friendly fellow. Last I heard he moved to Hawaii,

Yeah, to me is still is...about that Disney Special that they aired ('Mgosh-that was in the '80's!), I have a copy of that on 3/4 inch tape somewhere, along with a audio cassette tape that I recorded while in the audience in Binaural sound. I'll have to see if I can sync everything together one of these days....I just hope the oxides on the videotape haven't fallen off. :)

Try finding a 3/4 deck these days (unless you have your own - they can't go for much if they turn up on ebay). They've pretty much gone the way of the 2" machines.

Well, I sort of have myself covered as far as that goes. A friend of mine that I knew once back when I used to do a lot of local cable origination shows has a working player, and all I have to do is get a decent video capture cards--like the 'Blackmagic Intensity Pro.'
A dual cassette deck I can find on E-Bay....(In fact, I need one of those also because I have a ton of cassettes Video/Audio to copy. Maybe if I can add a 3 Terabyte hard drive to my 'Wish List'.)
Anyway, it would be good to hear the 'Chick Singers'/Chamberlin Female Solo or the way Mike Iceberg did the (3) Violins demo again in stereo sound again.... :)
Heck, somewhere amongst my 3/4 inch library is a demo of the Fairlight CMI-featuring somebody from the group here-that I taped way back in 1985 at the NAMM Show.... (I am getting old.) :/
