[QuadList] Jeeopardy Question

[C. Park Seward]

RCA never made a successful 1" VTR. They sold Sony and Ampex at different times. What happened? Why could they not compete?

Best,
Park

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.
