Are they at all connected with the Allied Electronics or whatever from decades ago? A bunch of parts, but also had some kits and other stuff. All I remember (vividly) is buying some Fahnestock clips and some other stuff after I got enough pennies together and the enormous rush of 'electronics' smell when I opened the box to look at the wires, low voltage bulbs and other stuff that a kid in the 50s got all worked up about.
There was Lafayette Radio, too. Can't remember if there were more.
Anyway, I wonder if Allied of Houston is related? I think the Allied I got catalogs from was in Chicago.
