[QuadList] GPTV quads (was SCETV Consoles--did they look like these RCA)

[Guy Spiller]

Hi Sammy....
Yes, I am a big fan of TR-70s, having worked with them for some 35 years 
now.  I have the two best machines of the four I picked up already up 
and running....very well, actually.  An incredible testament to the 
robustness of their design to have survived as well as they have being 
unpowered and ignored for some 26 years.  I have a few videos of them on 
YouTube if you'd like to see some UGA quad history in action.

GPTV has maintained production headquarters in Atlanta since the 1960s, while WGTV was based in Athens at UGA.
