seems to confirm that: </DIV>

<DIV>BE is still in business, celebrating 50 years in 2009, located in Quincy,
IL... a hotbed for cart machines and other radio innovations.</DIV>

<DIV>They may have manuals for this machine, although not on-line. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Gates was in Quincy and introduced several spot players. ITC
(International Tapetronics) as well. Highly regarded, especially its Delta
line that capped the Cart era.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In the waning days of carts—early to mid 90's—I was teaching a ROP
Radio-TV class and was busy acquiring equipment from various sources in the
Sacramento area. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The Sacramento Army Depot was home to Army, US Navy and IIRC, Coast Guard
media facilities. I picked up a pair of lightly used (if used at all)
Delta cart machines for $25 each when the Depot was closed during a round of
Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) proceedings. They had all kinds of stuff.
Some in pretty good shape.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here's a history of some brands of Cart Machines:</DIV>

<DIV>Notably DOESN'T mention Sparta Electronics... which also made consoles,
transmitters under the Sparta and also Bauer and for a time owned Jampro
antennas. </DIV>
