Anyone know when Wells-Gardner stopped making TV's?

The newest WG built set I remember seeing was an '81 Teknika branded 25" console that was cable ready with remote and still used a delta gun CRT. Also, this is the latest set I've seen, from anyone, that still used a delta gun CRT. I remember seeing another Teknika 19" single knob tuned color set from '84; but, I don't know if WG built this one or not. It was in a metal cabinet and used an RCA 19V inline CRT.

I remember the tube type WG sets that had the flat chassis with the plug in modules (looked similar to a Sylvania solid state chassis). Then, they carried over the same concept into the solid state era. Around '77-'78, WG used an upright modular chassis. The chassis in the set I mentioned above was a much smaller, cheap looking chassis that mounted in the bottom of the cabinet. It did have several smaller stand up modules that were very close together and it made troubleshooting the module almost impossible while it was still in the chassis. The only way to troubleshoot these was to pull the module and "hunt and peck" or run jumper wires from the module to the chassis.

Most of the WG sets I remember were branded as Truetone (Western Auto) and I remember seeing one or two Bradford branded WG built consoles.
