GE bought RCA in, IIRC, '86 and soon closed their GE TV plants. Some GE TV's of the mid '80's were rebadged Panasonic and Goldstar. Around '87, GE sold the entire RCA/GE consumer line to Thomson consumer electronics and it was at that time when the GE and RCA names became nothing more than a label. One of the last "real" GE TV's was the "PC" chassis and was probably one of their better efforts. As far as GE quality, it started going down shortly after WWII and some of their tube radios of the '50's and '60's were a major problem with poor quality PC boards and inferior IF transformers, among other things. I once asked a radio repairman what he thought the sorriest radio was and, without hesitation, he answered "GE" in a firm voice.
