A 6 foot croc!? If that had materialized, I would have seriously hated to see the whopper of a shit that the snake had.....teeth and scales. Ick.
The croc's rigor mortis or post death jimmies may have done it too....they speculate that it may have still been alive and tore itself out, but I think that the jimmies got the snake.

That part I disagree with -- I get projects in with video whine frequently. I don't need anything to tell me it's there - It slices through my brain like a hot knife through butter. 15.875kHz. Live, theatrical & soundstage recordings are notorious because there's almost always at least one (video) program monitor backstage somewhere...

Regardless of level?
I believe that in certain situations, like this one, the level can be so weak that you'll notice the interference existed only after it's gone.
Like with every other frequency: we can ear it or not, according to its level and how masked it is.
Notice it is not only 15.875KHz. Five or six parallel tones.

One thing you seem to be underestimating is the audibility of effective and noneffective bands when your back is to the unobstructed speaker. The boon is still audible and clear. The only thing turning around gives is the perfect audition of said tweak - unavailable to those who have a console in front of them. Try putting your hands out in front of you, as if they were an open book. There is a boost in high mid presence. Put the hands back down, the boost is gone. This is referring, of course, to being in front of loudspeakers, and the loudspeaker output is what gets "eq'd" by the hands. Better to have nothing in the way for mid and far field monitoring.
It's true that the console must be adding some back-fire reflections, but, after placing a mirror on top of the equipment, I confirmed that the ricochet would not be direct - coming, instead, from the ceiling (12.5', plus air space above), which is farther than the speakers and requires a round trip to get to the console, alone, which doubles the length to the ceiling, and then it goes about 3 or 4 more feet to get back to my head. By then most of the reflection has lost energy, coherence, and has been delayed beyond the Haas window, iianm. It's at least in the 3 to 1 mic placement ballpark, as I am sitting only 10 feet or so from the speakers, when in the sweet spot. (;
For the time being, quite coincidentally, prior to reading the post about Mr. Purcell, I have tried mounting a pair of NS-10Ms on the far back corners of the console to serve as smalls and to look a little more traditional (for the uninitiated). They fit neatly there and, although a little low, provide some semblance of normalcy. This is an effective option during track naming and as an alternative reassurance to headphones. Being nearfields, their being behind the console is less problematic. Furthermore, these are just a safety and aid when critical listening is less important than ergonomic considerations. It should also help break the ice when newcomers arrive who are not familiar with the fame of Dave Davis, Denny Purcell, or, now, Doug Sax.
But the most revealing sound is bellowing at me from behind, whilst I rotate the switches. I can always walk around behind the console and tweak a setting from that vantage, I suppose. But that would kill the point. That being, the tweak is going to be more spot on in the first place when you don't have anything the size of a breadbox in between you and the source. And who doesn't like to swivel?  Headphones are also useful, in any scenario. And with the rear-firing room, they offer additional revealing, and ergonomically-familiar territory. Still, the mains are singing, now that they are free to breath without interruptions. Please try it, if you can.

Hi Dave. Still have a few issues with the tape spooling off in fast forward mode at the head off the tape. (supply full)I am suspecting a worn brake drum on the supply real hub. Wont stop the reel fast enough. What do you think? Is this a probability? When I turn the drums by hand there is clearly more resistance on the take up reel side. I have considered swapping the brake drums to see if it follows the drum.

Doubtful it's the brake drum. The mechanical brakes only hold tension when the tape's not moving. Most likely it's the end of reel slow down adjustment. The procedure for setting that up, as well as setting up the mechanical brakes, is in the transport section of the manual. You'll need acetone and a spring scale for the brake setup, a full reel of tape for the end of reel slowdown adjustment.

Check the wiring between the pickups.

Bill is right. The coils in each pickup are wired in series towards the output. If the thin wire breaks somewhere, the keys to the right of the break won't work.

Will any combination of the switches and knobs actually improve (or do something useful to) the audio passing thru it?
That's all that matters...

I was listening again to "Fox Confessor Brings The Flood" and "Blacklisted", and the sense of space that lets all the instruments shine in the recording is pretty rare these days. They really mixed and recorded these albums very well. Plus, Neko's an amazing singer, but there's no Auto Tune, there's sharps and flats indicative of a live performance. I'm glad that people still make these sorts of albums.

... and these sorts of albums are made right here in Tucson.

Indeed! And they are appropriately dusty and arid sounding, but in the best possible way.

Neko is a force of nature. And she can play the drums.
Check out anything you can find by her with Calexico as well.
