Not going to work. The 4066 can't handle the larger differential supply
(+/-15V) that the 13201 takes. The internal resistance of the 4066
would be a problem too, methinks.

There is a known problem that Cinematronics ran into that will blow the
parts out if you loose one of the supply voltages. There is a diode hack
that they used to get around this.

I remember looking at this a while ago, doesn't Harris or Silicon General
have equivalent parts?
