Neil,
I
remember them well! Glad we did not have many of them.

Of course you know the history of where the name TPL came from

Ripped from the internet:
To compete with the MOTRAC, GE introduced what many
consider to be the greatest flop in two-way radio history, the GE
Transistorized Progress Line or TPL. GE actually re-purchased many of
the dysfunctional TPL's and supplied customers with the older tube-type
Progress Lines that actually worked. Only the later iteration of TPL's
(without the quirky delay-line modulators) were viable but the damage to the
GE name took many years to correct. Thankfully, the MASTR-Pro and MASTR-II replaced the notorious
TPL.
