[BC] Fun with Quad

[Margaret Bryant]

Mike Bock told stories how when the MW 50 was first installed that the RCA 
Ampliphase was more reliable so they used the MW 50 as the back up. Kinda 
silly. Then he came in and got the MW50 working reliably. The 317C2 (later 
upgraded to a C3) was installed sometime later. By the time I got there, 
the 317 was the main, the MW50 the back up and the RCA 5 was the second 
back up. That old thing could load into just about anything. There were 
times we ran it when we were doing tower work. The Ampliphase was parted 
out when I was there.
