With lateral mono records, the purpose of the vertical switch and balance
control is to null out the signals, thus assuring that when they are
switched to lateral, they will be in balance.

I feel strongly that this tool is so essential to all 78 preamps of modern
manufacure that it should be included in the basic configuration, not as an
option.
