yes, Helena Rubenstein (the cosmetics company) even made R390's. She
was advised to diversify into military electronics, so the company bid
on a production run and won. Then they realized that they didn't know
how to build receivers, so they subcontracted the job out to Collins.

B&W made the antenna tuner for the BC-610. According to Jack Williamson it was the BC-939. But they didn't build any BC-610's.
Even so, I'm pretty sure that Hallicrafters was not the only
manufacturer of the BC-610. The BC-610 is probably a Hallicrafters
design, yet like many designs built for the military in those days, it
may have been manufactured by more than just the company that originated
the design. For instance the R-390 receiver is known to have been built
by Collins, Motorola and at least one other company.
