Hi to all,
The Chinese 4" flat CRT type 04MC has a TOSHO "made in China" label, see photo. The Sony 4" WatchMan model FD-40A has a 4" CRT designated as 04JM, see extract from schematic. Questions: - does TOSHO manufacture in China using a Sony licence? - unlicenced clone? Unless the Sony patents have already run out, i don't see Sony sitting back doing nothing if someone stole their design. From memory, WatchMans appeared circa 1983, so +20 years forward the patents have indeed expired. Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France Last edited by jhalphen; 12-05-2023 at 07:43 AM. |
