and  Altec made some very durable consoles, but not  transmitters



*********************************
Altec never built transmitters but came from the Western Electric broadcast  
line.
 
During the Justice Department  "Trust Bustin"  days of AT&T  Division Western 
Electric,  The  majority of the Western Electric  Broadcast audio line became 
Altec.   Consoles,  Speakers, Mikes,  Amplifiers speakers.  Over the years 
the Altec company evolved from the  basic Western Electric audio product line.
 
The AM transmitter line went to Continenmtal Electronics who had been  
building Phasors for Western Electric and Graybar since 1947.   The FM  & TV 
Transmitters line went to Standard Radio Company as I have been  told.
