General Electric "Roundies"

[Charlie]

Through this past year, we've seen several great examples of round color sets here on AK. It seems that most of them are RCA's, but there are also many other brands in the mix. I've noticed that out of all the round color sets here on AK, there is only ONE example of a General Electric. This would be Rob's color GE with the scene from Star Trek Voyager. Since Rob's is the only General Electric roundie seen here on AK, is it safe to say that GE round color sets were generally junk and didn't last? Or did GE simply not offer many color sets at that time? Were they usually short-lived due to being cheaply made? Was GE devoting most of their time to designing the up-coming PortaColor sets? What is GE's story?

BTW, I think Rob's GE roundie is really cool looking... especially the way the legs are designed. It kinda looks like it can walk around the room!
