[QuadList] Another Jeporady Question-Quads not made by Ampex or RCA

Hi, Chris,

I'd argue the point, since manufacturers—even ones the size of RCA and  
Ampex—don't always make all of their own component level parts or  
subassemblies.

When Visual/Allen made the V/A Quads, Bosch was simply a mechanical  
parts supplier of two subassemblies for a machine V/A designed, then  
manufactured the electronics and assembled a completed system.
