What do you mean by tv stands?

If you look at "jobs" back then it was probably 90% US to
build a major US brand TV. So maybe 90% of the money
spent to build a US set was spent in the US & employed US
workers. They were then sold also to Canada, & many Central and
S. American countries.
The resistors, caps, & semi's imported does not involve many jobs
compared to major parts like CRT's etc. So I consider them true
US sets.

Stands are the tables built for TV's, stereos etc. The ones from
Romania were well made. Also for a while got some that
came from the old Yugoslavia. Wish I remember the name but
its been too long ago.

Here's a typical one

Note the notches in the cross-pieces to catch the feet of the table model TV (typically a 19-inch diagonal model).

Its a Gusdorf, sold a ton of that model cut for
Zenith 17" & 19" E-line + Good stands.
