P.H. Hobbies made many different sound boards, some direct sell, some OEM.Paul Housey was the owner of the company. P H Hobbies, Inc., 6861 T Dr. S. , Athens, Michigan 49011 was founded in 1986. Phone Number: 517-741-4221, Fax Number: 517-741-4136

Prices for their products ranged from $60 to $310 (old Walthers catalog)

I've put a few of them here on the web site, to help identify the models.

I have been collecting wiring notes as I go. I may have the wiring for yours, just drop me an email.

Any pictures of different units, or model numbers or corrections is appreciated, and thanks to the many people who have sent me pictures of boards, it appears there were dozens of variants.
