Candle in Canada, Daytron in the US, I think. I accidentally destroyed a piece of aluminum trim on a customers 80's Daytron (cheapie) AM-FM-Phono stereo, and ordered a manual to get the part number. Surprisingly, the manual came with a Candle-logoed stereo pictured on the front, but the manual was for a Daytron. The stereo was one of those with a dual-speed changer, vinyl-wrapped particle board ones where the chassis was two pieces - power supply and faceplate, with all tuner and amp boards attached. I flipped the tuner section over, and the faceplate got across the AC terminals in the power supply, arcing a nice crater in it. Even more surprisingly, a replacement was just a phone call away, and cheap. The units were sold as loss leaders at Circuit City, about 69 bucks new.
