oddball frame, any have a clue who made these

This was the very first recumbent i rode a number of years ago. needless to say it was my first true love.
I have gone into bike shops and sought out recumbent enthusiast and no one knows for sure what this bike is. im guessing it was made sometime in the late 80's. thats about all that i know

I think I answered this question somewhere else. It's a ReBike of some sort. They made several models, including a trike. They were made of heavy-gauge mild steel and were basically dept-store quality. The beginning of the end for them was when Sears bought the company, apparently thinking of selling them in the exercise machines department. After the first year in the stores, they quietly went away never to be seen again.
