[BC] Fun with Quad Videotape

[Gary Blau]

I doubt Imus could have distinguished between the two tx's without 
prompting, his hearing was shot by at least 1984 from excessive headset 
levels.
But the 317 did sound a bit cleaner, whereas the MW50 played just a 
touch louder, even though measured distortion numbers were very close.
It and the trusty old 5R1 always worked reliably, and came up when 
needed.
