[QuadList] Vital... Gainesville

[David Crosthwait]

Saw the Vital switchers at KTVT, Fort Worth and at KLTV, Tyler. Never ran one though at the places I worked (including KLTV). I had great (?) times with the Sarkes-Tarzian, CDL,  and RCA TS 40 before going to an all GVG operation.



The above shot is of a Vital model VIX-114 "A" Series.
