Did NBC use a different encoder for the TK41's? The decoder would be in the monitor/receiver not the VTR unless I'm missing something. The only thing that was added to make a quad VCR color was a TBC for the color signal.
It was possible for a B/W recorder to record color it just could not play it back without the color TBC at least that's what I remember. It's been a while since I have ran a quad. Ampex would have had some say in the color standards for qaud as they were the market leader.
