[QuadList] AVR-2 on eBay

[Gary Adams]

I agree with this but I'll have to admit when installing RCA quads, the Tek
monitors covered up all the noise and really made the picture look better
than it was.  Easier sell to most except those that understood the
difference.  Those monitors had the best pulse cross display which was
extremely useful in troubleshooting video issues.  And the blue only mode
was also useful.

I fought hard at the time to stop the company buying RCA machines with this
option

The 602 was a poor vector scope and was dependent on the picture monitor if
that went down you lost the 602 display

 

I was personally happy for a B/W monitor in the bridge, turn the brightness
down and it shows head banding up better than a color monitor

but I still want a color monitor somewhere in the system, in PAL you can get
the burst to chroma phase 180 degrees out and it looks OK on a vector scope.

 

I could live with a slot monitor for this, if it was a choice that or a
Delta gun that never really converged, and most available at the time were
un reliable,

I think we ended up with Barco monitors in the end, but not in the bridge
