[Amps] Western Electric

Tue Mar 22 23:28:22 EDT 2022

It's not the historical Western Electric. Like many other well-known 
brand names, the name and logo were sold.

Wikipedia says "As of 2013, the stylized Western Electric brand name 
survives as the trademark of the Western Electric Export Corporation, a 
privately owned high-end audio company in Rossville, Georgia."
