<div>Don,</div><div><br></div><div>Wow! That is interesting. I can't recall anywhere that head design being publicized in an RCA brochure or magazine.</div><div><br></div><div>This is a bigger picture and probably just as fuzzy as before. Your picture is very informative. Note that the stamped nomenclature is very similar, although unreadable on the TPR pix.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:CD5D2B78-38D1-4A14-AAF8-E104F7830104@local"><img src="cid:C055ED70-A392-4B5D-ACF9-FF9C64951B34@local"></div><div>Well Mr. Spencer, you've started another discussion!

Look at the pic below of one of the RCA Octaplex headwheels that I have. I tried to take it from about the same angle as the shot you have of the head. Your pic is a bit fuzzy, but there are some very distinctive features of this headwheel that I think you will agree match up exactly.
