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

[Ted Langdell]

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.
