The meaning of "Eltron"

In the art book @robert.megone “asked many times about ‘ART BY ELTRON’”. I think I can answer that:

ELTRON was/is a german company. Today they are named Stiebel Eltron:

And there is a DJ Eltron, btw (Wikipedia article only in German):

So the sign “Art by Eltron” means, that the shop in TWP sold central heating products designed by Stiebel Eltron - or by DJ Eltron…

I’m late to this thread but anyway… Here’s Eltron amp (there were also mixers and cabinets with speakers), made in my hometown in 70’s and 80’s. I suspect ever musician older than 35 in Poland is familiar with eltrons as there wasn’t much of any other equipment of this type. They are still used.
