	I specifically remember them selling burglar alarms (already wired)
in 1975, but can't recall anything since.

	I remember EICO fondly.  In the later 1950's my first decent VTVM,
signal generator and oscilloscope (a model 425, I recall) were all EICO
products.  Similar companies were Jackson and Pace, which I believe survived
until the early 1970's.

	EICO was an old line company, having been formed in the early
1920's.  They were originally known as Electrical Instrument COmpany,
and their advertisements can be seen in old radio magazines.
