What gets me Is I'm curious as to who the hell made these for monkey wards?! I have a few ideas but what do you guys think? Know who made them?? |
The changer shown is definately a VM.
Wards had several different firms building their portable and console stereos.
Their better line was usually Wells Gardner. The lower end was Audio Industries and Waters Conley and several others.
Wards, like Sears, had several suppliers to build a product for a certain price-point.
