J.H.Keeney and Company, of Chicago 32, Illinois apparently jumped into the panadaptor business as a second source vendor, and won a production contract for some BC-1031C panadaptors in 1955. Curiously, the panadaptors they built for the Army were painted Navy grey..... Thats all I know about this company. Can anybody on the forums provide any more info ?
Thanks, Chuck McGregor K7MCG Collector of Panadaptors and Panoramic Receivers

Will post to my own thread, to provide new info and close out thread...
J H Keeney & Co was apparently a Chicago - based maker of slot machines and almost any other kind of coin-slot machine for gaming, vending, and entertainment. Possibly they may have also been a vendor of cast metal parts for Chicago radio manufacturers. They had one gaming device called Panascope.
So, in 1955 they apparently responded to an RFP to build a run of BC-1031C panadaptors as supplied by Panoramic in 1943 and second source New London Instrument Company during subsequent wwII years. I would like to see the inside of a BC-1031C built by Keeney just to see how they dealt with sourcing 1943 vintage parts for 1955 production...

They also made the TV-2B tube tester for the military. I have one.
