<DIV>Good answers but we can not include Visual or Allen as they would be 
considered refurbishers and not manufactures.  They took parts from other 
folks and made a quad.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So we are getting closer.</DIV>

    <DIV>We all know the Ampex and RCA machines.  A number of us have seen

    <DIV> </DIV>
    <DIV>What other manufactures built quad machine?  </DIV>
    <DIV> </DIV>
    <DIV>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.</DIV>
