[QuadList] Jeporady Question of the Day--And the answer is RCA TR-700

Brain went last on previous reply.  Should have looked at  sketch.  Now 
this machine was shown and catalogs were issued with it.   That may be a hint 
for some folks.  
 
Just think about it.  Over the life of the quads, RCA made about 9  models. 
 Not counting the TCR-100 or the portable.  Also not counting  the military 
ones with eight heads.
 
Ampex made eight models not counting the VR-3000 or the ACR-25.  It  shows 
the stability of the design.

The RCA- TR-700 got to the drawing boards, but not beyond due to the  
proliferation of 1" Type C.

And sketch(y) is what one can say about machine details.  


Chris, what do you know?

As we know, many products are introduced and never make it to  market.  One 
example is the VR-8000 that was a 2 inch helical machine  that looked like 
an VR-1100 with a new transport.  Literature was  distributed and catalog 
sheets were produced.
 
So the question is 
 
"What RCA Quad Machine was introduced but never was sold?
