Gloritone 27 Radio
#33

Another make I have seen from U.S Radio and Television was Apex Electric, or U.S Apex, the badge on some of those had a pointed mountain top shaped logo, with A.P.E.X forming the crest with letters. The model 27 I have was built by Grimes-Phonola, likely under license, either that or they bought the chassis in knock down form, they made other U.S. R & T models too, though I don't own any, they also had a relationship will Wells Gardner, but they started as a Canadian affiliate of David Grimes, as the name reveals. Phonola owned their own furniture company so they could build whatever cabinet design they, or one of their private label contractees, wanted.
Regards
Arran
