Our Quasar was the first set I ever adjusted - at 6 years old. One Saturday morning I played with the drive controls on the back and got things all screwd up - and got a good butt-chewing as well. My not-so-great start in messing with TVs.....
I'll have to look for a copy of that magazine. The drive controls were always much to easy to access for anyone I thought since the controls protrude out of the back cover!

You set must have been a little newer though. The instamatic feature made it's first appearance on models starting in December, 1970.
