Montague Radio Inventions started to market sets under the Beethoven name as early as 1928. They also manufactured appliances such as the "stream-lined Glywell" electric iron (1938). After WW2 they were predominantly known for television manufacture. In 1960, they were owned by Outram (Investments) Ltd. (a subsidiary of Loyds Retailers Ltd) - along with Raymond Electric. Spare parts had been produced from 1957 onwards for both Beethoven and Raymond brands by a third-party company. Beethoven Electric is still listed in the Who Owns Whom (UK and Ireland) directory of 1972. |
