   In  April 1999 the Company sold its manufacturing plant located in Rocky
   Mount,  North  Carolina  for $1,360,000 (net of  selling  expenses)  and
   recognized  a  gain  on the sale of approximately  $1,068,000  which  is
   included  in  the Company's financial statements for the three  and  six
   months  ended June 30, 1999.  The Company announced the closing of  this
   facility  in  October 1998 at which time the Company accrued termination
   costs  of $415,000 of which approximately $370,000 has been paid  as  of
   June  30,  1999.   The  Company believes that the remaining  $45,000  of
   accrued  termination costs is adequate to cover the estimated  remaining
   expenditures.  The Company ceased operations at this facility  effective
   March  31,  1999  and  has consolidated all of its  Musical  Instruments
   production into its manufacturing facility in Macungie, PA.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
    Cash flows from operating activities increased during the three and six
months  ended  June  30, 1999 when compared to the same  periods  in  1998,
primarily  due  to increases in operating income in the Data Communications
segment resulting from increased sales.

   Cash flows from investing activities were used to purchase approximately
$1,877,000 in machinery and equipment during the six months ended June  30,
1999 including $775,000 for a new air handling system in the wood and metal
finishing  area and $150,000 for a new automated router in the  woodworking
area  of  the  Macungie,  PA plant.  Equipment purchases  of  approximately
$730,000  in the Data Communications segment are primarily related  to  new
computer,  office  and  test equipment to support  the  growth  of  Eastern
Research.   The  Company estimates that Eastern Research  will  require  an
additional  $1,000,000 in capital expenditures to continue  its  growth  in
1999.

Musical Instruments Segment
   Sales increased $415,162 and $369,211 respectively for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 when compared to the same periods in 1998 due to
higher  order  volume.   The backlog of organ orders  continues  to  remain
higher than the same period in 1998.

    The  gross profit percentage decreased to 27% in the first six months
of  1999  from  30% in the same period in 1998.  The current quarter  gross
profit  percentage was 25% compared to 27% in the second quarter of  1998
due   to   changes  in  product  mix  and  inefficiencies  caused  by   the
implementation  of  new information systems and integration  of  production
from the RMI plant.

    Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses remained  approximately
equal during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 when compared  to
the same period in 1998.

    Research  and  development expenditures increased slightly  during  the
first  six months of 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998  due  to
continuing product development efforts.

Data Communications Segment
    Sales increased $3,349,500 and $4,930,296, respectively, for the  three
and  six  months ended June 30, 1999 when compared to the same  periods  in
1998  as  a  result of higher sales at Eastern Research, Inc.  (ERI).   ERI
increased its incoming order volume, expanded its customer base, and  began
shipping  products  under  OEM  agreements with  other  data  communication
equipment companies.

    Gross profit margins increased to 49.2% and 45.3% respectively for  the
three  and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 43.5% and 40.6%  when
compared  to  the  same periods in 1998 due to higher sales  of  ERI's  DNX
product  line.   The  segment will continue to focus its  efforts  on  more
sophisticated high-end products which generally have higher gross margins.

    Sales and marketing expenditures increased approximately $442,000 (44%)
and $769,000 (43%) respectively for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 when compared to the same periods in 1998.  This was primarily due  to
the  expansion  of  sales  and marketing efforts  to  further  promote  the
segment's products, obtain additional market share and develop new channels
of distribution.

    General and administrative expenses remained approximately the same for
the  three  and six months ended June 30, 1999 when compared  to  the  same
periods in 1998.

    Research and development expenditures increased approximately  $249,000
(41%)  and  $414,000 (36%) respectively for the three and six months  ended
June   30,  1999  when  compared  to  the  same  periods  in  1998.   These
expenditures  will  continue  to increase  in  the  future  reflecting  the
commitment to new product development.

Electronic Assemblies Segment
    Sales declined $132,043 and $67,654 respectively for the three and  six
months ended June 30, 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998.  Gross
profit  percentages  for the three and six months ended were  approximately
equal  to  the same periods in 1998.  The segment is focusing its marketing
efforts on customers that require more sophisticated assemblies that better
utilize the Companies strengths in this field.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first six
months of 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998 due to the addition
of  sales  and marketing personnel to grow the segment's sales and customer
base.

Audio Equipment Segment
   Sales decreased $312,763 and $439,715 for the three and six months ended
June  30, when compared to the same periods in 1998.  Gross profit  margins
increased  to  40% in the first six months of 1999 as compared  to  35%  in
1998.   Selling,  general  and administrative costs remained  approximately
equal  during the first six months of 1999 when compared to the same period
in 1998.

    The  high-end audio market is going through significant changes  as  it
evolves from the traditional two-channel to the multi-channel market, which
is  utilized  in  home  theater applications.  Legacy  Audio  is  presently
developing products specifically for the home theater market.

    As  previously  announced, the Company has developed a line  of  Public
Address System products and in connection therewith has formed Allen Audio,
Inc.  to  continue  development, establish marketing and  distribution  for
these  products.  Allen Audio began to incur expenses associated  with  the
initiation of its sales and marketing efforts during the quarter ended June
30,  1999.   Allen  Audio began to establish a dealer network  and  shipped
several units for dealer stock during the second quarter.

Other Income and Expense
    Investment  income remained approximately the same for the  six  months
ended  June 30, 1999 and was slightly lower in the current quarter  due  to
lower investment yields and differences in the invested balances.

     Gain   (Loss)  on  Sale  of  Property,  Plant  &  Equipment   includes
approximately $1,068,000 of gains related to the sale of the  Rocky  Mount,
NC facility.
