My catalog is TVT-2166.  One of the previous posters saw the HL  version at 
the NAB that year.  
 
It would be interesting to hear from someone that worked for RCA at that  
time regarding the gestation period of the TR-70.

Chris,  


The RCA catalogue I have from 1966 (TVT 5566, perhaps a later issue...)  
shows the TR 70 on the cover, and has information on the TR 3, TR 4, TR 5, TR  
22D, and TR 70, plus accessories. But interestingly enough, one of the TR 
70  pages shows a sketch of "Man vs TR series machines" and it is a TR 22HL. 
Go  figure!

The answer is that RCA introduced the TR-22HL as their first High Band  
Quad.  The 1966 catalog featured the machine on the cover.  The  machine was 
basically a prototype for the TR-70.  There were a few  changes according to 
the catalog that I have between it and the  TR-70.  Notably the addition of 
the indicators and standard selection  below the monitor.  
 
Side note about machines.  Did you know that RCA sold IVC one inch  
machines with the RCA name?
