   I thought the RO name was used as soon as AA bought it and there never   
   was an actual Antique Apparatus with RockOla parts, it *was* a RockOla.   
     I know when I tried calling them they told me they are RockOla, there   
   is  no Antique Apparatus any more, and as soon as they became Rock-Ola   
   they stopped all support for Antique Apparatus.  They left more than 1   
   person out in the cold.
