[QuadList] Another Jeporady Question-Quads not made by AmpexorRCA

[Chill315 at aol.com]

Don
 
You are correct in the original intention of the question.  A  manufacture 
that did everything from A to Z in the building of a machine.   That has 
given me the next question to ask after we put this one to bed.

Hi Ted:
 
By the time Merlin got thru with the machine, it had an Ampex headwheel,  
Ampex audio heads and an Ampex pinch roller.  Whether those were part of  the 
original Shibaden design I do not know.  Ken Zin can probably tell  us.
 
In the "fine print" of the question Chris originally asked, he did say  
only original manufacturers that did not rely on the major parts of other  
manufacturers.  Some of these machines, like the Visual/Allen, would not  exist 
without the "big guy's" parts.  On the other hand, machines like  the Bosch 
are clearly original.  I think the intention was  to explore how many 
companies actually made quads from top to  bottom.  Otherwise, I could be a 
"manufacturer" since I've built and sold  machines made out of a variety of parts.

Hi, Bill, 


Sorry if the below sound a little sharp in reply... Not much  sleep. Too 
much going on.  


The Shibaden catalog pictures and text would be of great interest.  If you 
find it again, please try to scan and post.


Anyone else have some Shibaden info?


Ted

The Shibaden SV-7000 Quad used in the Merlin duplicating system  doesn't 
look like any RCA I've seen... 


See the deck and some historic pictures at

Don Norwood posted two different brochures for the system on June 3,  2009

I  used to have a Shibaden catalog from the 70s that showed their quads and 
 they looked to be RCA clones if not rebadged  RCA.

We  all know the Ampex and RCA machines.  A number of us have seen  other 
machines in use.  So the question of the day  is.

 


 
What  other manufactures built quad  machine? 

 


 
The  answer can not be a refurbished machine that was built on someone 
else's  platform.  I know of two of the manufactures.  I do not  know a third 
one but am aware of the machine.  There may be  more.
