Hello Terry and all, The Artecho and later Apollo roll series (having labels of the style shown in your example) are indeed identical, as Art Reblitz and...
Terry, That's right about the Apollo Art Echo. They are one and the same. It had a "sub-intensity like the Ampico B, and can be converted to play Ampico rolls ...
