[QuadList] Saturday Quad Matinee feature--KCOP, 13, Los Angeles--1979 Rose Parade remote truck "Behind the Scenes" withDavid Crosthwait

[J. Mitch Hopper]

That's exactly what they were!
Worked with TR60/61/70a,b - all had the same trouble!
I used a small vacuum cleaner with a small rubber snout to suck out the 
holes.  The only trouble was having a good master ruined to be the signal 
that it was time to get out the hoover! ha ha
