I have no idea who made this, but I do know relatively none of them have survived the years. I've owned this one for nearly 50 years. Around 1976 I converted the scale to AM/FM and connected it to an AM/FM radio hidden under my dashboard...over by the glove compartment and I used it for over 30 years. The radio was set for FM because AM had become pretty blah by then (and is much worse today unless you enjoy Mexican Ranchero music). I've thought of making something like this...the same basic affair which would connect to a remote AM/FM/MP3 etc player. This one connects to the radio via cables which would remind you slightly of speedometer cables. The left one turn it on and controls volume, the right one dials in stations and there is a light for night use. There is a chrome bezel and a round glass which is in another box, but all things considered it looked good and worked fine. With all the electronic advances of today, I believe it could be easily configured to include bluetooth, USB, SD memory card...you name it.
