This site might help, you need to find a model number to match. When you do I used to belong to the BVWS and have the CD ROM of Trader circuits so can email you the correct pdf

Thanks for the help. From the tag on the back of the console, none - alaskahiatt 12:33:12 06/13/23 (4)
of the numbers match what you sent. I also don't know which of the numbers on the tag to pick for a model number. Thanks though.

  THAT might be handy to have for any number of vintage FM receivers
  
  something I found, "Ambassador was the house brand for stores under the conglomerate of Allied Stores Marketing". It's a 'stencil', who knows who made it. With a VOM turntable, might be VOM manufacture.
  
  Back for a bit again. Ignore me if you like.
  - Hahaha, no I won't ignore you. You are correct about Allied Stores Marketing. - alaskahiatt 17:47:52 06/13/23 (2)
    Allied stores was the distributor for this console that was made by Audio Industries, who made units for several brands. This information came from thevoiceofmusic.com.
    
    I cannot find any more information on Audio Industries, and and I wish I knew where Audio Industries was located in order to narrow down the google search. You can imagine what how much unrelated information shows up when you type "Audio Industries" in the URL space.
    
    The tuner in this unit is quite extensive, especially when the MPX preamp is included.

      A lot of these modest consoles were built in and around Chicago. Just for kicks I googled Audio Industries Inc and Chicago and hit a labor law case in Chicago, and found the Michigan City Indiana reference
      
      Likely very little info out there, these were modest products and the product lines didn't survive changing tastes and the Japanese onslaught. Best source is probably Sams Photofacts if you can figure out how it's listed.
      
      Back for a bit again. Ignore me if you like.
      - Many thanks! I was going to try Chicago eventually, as someone else hinted that. nt - alaskahiatt 21:52:20 06/13/23 (0)
