The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
Regarding the note at the top of the page: I believe that instead of this confusing link there should be a disambiguation page, directing to either a different article or to the Rheem Manufacturing article, where the American Roberts brand is mentioned in the section Rheem#Former_divisions. The Akai machines badged Roberts as mentioned here and in [[1]] in the US were actually sold by a different, seperate, American company based out of Los Angeles called Roberts Electronics see cite here about halfway down the page(at that time a subsidary of Rheem Manufacturing under the Califone branch, called "Califone Roberts" or "Rheem Califone" [[2]] ).
My grandfather was Saburo Akai's point of contact with Rheem Califone Roberts at the time of his death. I have a hardcopy company directory of Rheem Manufacturing from 1968 in my possession that can be used as a reference- should it be scanned and uploaded to Archive.org for others to access? I am usure about doing so as it contains personal contact information that may still be accurate for some of the company officers or their families, even if they are long since retired or deceased. I have my editor notifications set to notify daily so I will see any responses in a timely manner. I haven't been active on Wiki for some years, but I recently had this document come into my possession and thought it might be of some historical interest. Thank you for your help.
I will be adding a similar but appropriately edited note to the other two wiki pages linked above as well.
