We have a winner in the switcher guess: Wayne Watson responded privately:

"It is a Ross Video model 508 from about 1979."

Quad list member Gary Adams throttled back on his answer (thank you). I believe he worked at a facility (Pacific Video?) which had these switchers. Gary, why were they chosen over the GVG's, CDL, Ampex (or others) at the time? Did they work well?
