[QuadList] Not Quad, but....VPR2

[David Willis]

I recall there was an issue with bouncing audio between tracks on the 2
that was addressed in the PROMS by Ampex on the 2B (except if attached to
the BBC's own audio modifications). Another subtlety was that the editor on
the original 2 built up a cumulative error and would edit incorrectly after
so many successive edits unless the on board editor was switched off and on
again, I think this was also sorted on the 2B.
