this used to be a vancouver company many years ago.
if i am not mistaken they used to supply all the schools and well they put out a lot of gear for institutions.
portable record players reel to reels and stuff like that.
i think that the name must have been purchased by someone and the stuff made in china now.
i am pretty certain that someone is still selling these to schools and stuff based on that link.
i am pretty sure these would most likely act as a sleeping aid rather than being a sleeper.
i mean i would not expect them to sound great. they might be made to last but i dont think its going to excite you aurally.
