Nice post. Good read. You are so right about Zenith! Its a damned shame that crappy imports killed them
If our government had had the the balls to place tarrifs on stuff coming. I really hate stuff coming in thats the laborers get 20 cents an hour. Companys like Goldstar should have 50 % tarrifs. Other countrys protect their manufacturers. I hate "free trade" and its ruining our way of life. I had no problem paying a little more for a Zenith color TV. Nor did my parents.
Have had a lot of fun with my two Zenith 3000 Transoceanics and a GE AM only radio. See my posts. All were made here. Funny how popular the Transoceanic 7000 is. Did not much care for the Taiwan model. My 3000's sounded better now than my 7000 did in the early 80's.Go figure.
