Old vs. New Scopes

Are you sure JVC built the Sears set?
In the states, Sanyo built most of the Sears products, with a sprinkling of Gold Stars, RCA's and Toshiba.
Maybe the Canadian products are a little different.

Oh snap, I mixed up the Japanese suppliers. Yes the set I spoke of is a Sanyo under the hood. However, I briefly had a worn-out 1978 Electrohome with a JVC-built chassis, the first model year they used them. It wasn't built nearly as well as the earlier models. It had vertical interval reference though, I kept the module as a curiosity.
