[QuadList] RCA Models

[David Crosthwait]

Don,

Wow! That is interesting. I can't recall anywhere that head design  
being publicized in an RCA brochure or magazine.

This is a bigger picture and probably just as fuzzy as before. Your  
picture is very informative. Note that the stamped nomenclature is  
very similar, although unreadable on the TPR pix.


Well Mr. Spencer, you've started another discussion! Congratulations.
