[QuadList] VTR introduction anniversaries: 1965

[Guy Spiller]

I seem to remember the VR-2000B that I worked with back in the day, also 
had tubes in the four record amps....similar to the early TR-70s.
Seems like those big tube record amps were one of the major differences 
between a 1200 and a 2000.
But, then again, my memory may need recapping.
