Trying to remember an old company... circa 1980's...

They had a black catalog with silver text. They might have been out of New England and many of their catalogs featured Commodore PET computers.

I want to say they had a real name but were known for their initials. And I think they sold an audible rocket locator (maybe called "The Banshee"?).

No... I'll take door number three!

No... I'll take door number three!

Well, behind door number two is a goat. Would you like to change to door number one?

Al Celetti helped me get my start in rocketry 40+ years ago.

So, more on this company from Lewiston, ME. What did they offer? Catalog 791 means they were around for a while. What happened to them?

They sold the Total Impulse Test Stand. Or at least they offered it for sale and made pitches at various manufacturers' forums at NARAM and conventions.

I think one of the 2 principals became a dentist.
