Ace Radio Control has been around since at least the
1950s, as evidenced by this advertisement on page 51 of the January 1970 American Aircraft
Modeler magazine.
I owned an
Ace Pulse Commander single-channel unit for a while, and documented the
electronics prior to selling it. Photos and the complete operator's manual can be found at
the link above.
Ace R/C manufactured radio control systems and a few airplane models up through about the
1990s, when it was bought by Thunder Tiger, of Taiwan.

Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
inflation calculator
to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $97.95 Transmitter would be
$785.61 in 2010 money.
