A.R.A. Radios

I just purchased an AM/FM cassette radio, to replace my original AM radio in our 1976 Monaco Class C. Both radios are made by A.R.A., which also did the aftermarket in-dash A/C system. The reason I went this route because the MB300 only has one speaker in the top of the dash, and having FM will allow me to plug my bluetooth adapter into the cigar lighter.

My question is this, and it's more of a "It's 10:30PM and I'm just really curious" question....who made the radios for A.R.A.? I'm including a picture of the radio I bought. I tracked down the A.R.A. FCC ID and got the name Frank Reynolds, however Mr. Reynolds passed away four years ago.

If anyone has an answer, my encyclopedic brain of useless knowledge thanks you in advance.

    FM Ignitation supression. I like thatm FM is naturally resistant to ignition noise.

    The FCC ID if you can get it to search, will get you to the info you need. I tried but no joy on the first attempt..

    The FCC ID provided the name of a person who worked for A.R.A., but he passed away a few years ago. There is no name of the parent manufacturer, which is located in Japan.
