[QuadList] What's wrong with this ad contest

[chill315 at aol.com]

There is the monitor that is a Conrac black and white.  That was easy because they tell you

The first thing is the lack of the control panel upgrade for Intersync.  It has the control switch for servo mode and a few other switches.  

Next is the lack of RF on the tracking meter.  

We can not count the lack of a display on the 527 because it could have been washed out by lighting.  

I believe that another error is the doors shown.  But that is not a definitive one due to not knowing if they changed the doors or they were dropped in the kit.

There are at least 3 things wrong with the picture in this Ampex ad.  One of them is even acknowledged in the text, but what are the other 2?  And for bonus points, tell which year this appeared at NAB!
