Interesting, I wonder which company produced it. Or maybe neither did they just bought them and stuck their names on them.

GE would be by far the most likely, remember that GE did the bulk of multiplex R&D for the GE-Zenith system that was finally adopted in 1960 by the FCC. MPX technology was developed by the GE Broadcast Division in Syracuse, and the 1st Stereo-MPX broadcast in June 1961 was done at the GE-owned station in Schenectady. GE had an Audio Products Division in Auburn NY and it was likely manufactured there where GE was already producing component stereo amps and FM tuners. V-M was comparatively tiny and had nowhere near the research and manufacturing capabilities of GE, nor were they involved in it's development, although one supposes it could have been built under the GE license.

I'd guess GE built them. Remember, GE used VM changers for a long time in their audio equipment.

And they have a very limited market/audience. They will own those for awhile for my money. I'm in need of one, but not at that price....
