This is the sort of thing I should know right off, and at one time probably  
did.
I remember when Speech Systems was run by "Pal" Perry, out of his basement  
in the far west suburbs of Chicago.  But I forget who took it over  afterwards.
 
I remember meeting at a Rainbowfest a pair of rather rough but decent guys  
who had taken over selling Letser Hands' stuff.  They even offered me any  help 
I needed to write a Lyra to UME converter program (which never happened,  
mostly due technical incompatibilities).
 
Best bet would be to search thru old Rainbows for the ads.
