[QuadList] RCA Picture Trivia

[Don Norwood]

Hi Harold:

Yes, that's it.  And as Ted pointed out, there aren't any audio heads 
either.  What's strange to me is that the detail from the original 
photograph is still very evident in some parts of the image, and totally 
missing in others.  For instance, some of the lettering on the control panel 
is there, and some has been removed.  The insert of the shuttle control 
includes the detail that is missing from the main pic.  Another insert shows 
the master erase head which is entirely missing in the main pic.  So for 
whatever reason, the transport section was completly redone by the art 
department.  Wonder what it would have looked like if Photoshop had been 
around back then?

Don
