[Boatanchors] Apache

It was more of a consequence of users misinterpreting the front panel
"Gain" control as an audio gain control which it was not. That's the
Clipping control. The audio gain control was a screwdriver adjustment
located behind the key jack. Had to insert a small screwdriver through
the key jack opening to adjust it. If adjusted properly, it didn't sound
that bad even in stock form, but like a lot rigs of its time, it wasn't
designed for Hi-Fi sounding audio.
