[QuadList] Quad Vs Type C

[Guy Spiller]

Completely concur here. 
In fact, when I got the first Type C machines for my production company 
in 1981, (VPR-1Cs),
I used to check the carrier frequency and deviation of them by feeding 
the modulator out into the demod in of my TR-70.  The 70 has crystal 
reference markers for FM deviation confirmation.
The only difference in Type C modulation is that the burst gain is 
increased by 6db, IIRC,  for a little better time base correction on 
playback.
