Altec Beverly Hills, CA / New York, NY. |
In 1948, under court order Western Electric divested itself of its broadcast division. The audio parts were sold off to Altec and Westrex, the transmitter line went to Continental Electronics. (There was a Canadian arm of Altec, called Northern Electric (which has since morphed into Nortel)), that manufactured many of the same items, but with an NE nameplate.
(If anyone knows of a parts source, or catalog ... any anything in print that would help fill out this page for Altec, please let me know. )
