in my experiance from the time frame of working in my Uncles shop (late 70's to mid 80's) Best early tube color sets were Zenith and RCA. Worst were GE and Motorola tube sets. They had a lousy picture and were a pain in the ass to work on. Best early solid state was Zenith and Sylvania GT-matic's. Worst:Early RCA XL-100's weren't very good performers, along with the Motorola "works in a drawer" On those Motorola's the panels were expensive and they never had an outstanding picture. One of the worst sets we carried new on the sales floor were the early 80's GE with "VIR" Good pictures, but those pieces of crap would break on the sales floor! As a consumer now, I would have to say on new sets, that Apex are pure junk, and I don't know what is going on with Sony, but I returned my Wega after a week!
