Re the 4-track issue, my recollection is that the Model B-III, in stock form, did not include a 4-track playback head.

To the OP, can you describe the modification that is underway? Your deck WILL use any of the headsteack configurations used by the previous (B-II) models including the ones providing 4-track playback.

EDIT: Just checked my copy of the standard B-III data sheets and, no, it does not include a 4-track playback head. The version that DOES is listed under "Optional Accessories" and designated the Model BIII-P. Don't know why they made this change from prior models.
