Hi Clay and Gang,  Four preamps, each 3-band EQ (low-mid-high).
Plus left-right pan as in MK-V . Robert Laughton sold his
4-Track to Ryo Sekene. Ergo, this white one must be that formerly
of Strange Advance.

I haven't seen the blue one since 1981, and I only know of a
black 4-Track, not a red-painted Maytag. Anyone else can help
clarify this ?   --Jerry Korb
