And I agree about the overuse of the "cheap offshore" label. I bought my first Sony TV in 1972 and never looked back.

In 1972 Sony was the exact opposite of cheap offshore junk, they were probably the pinnacle of quality up until the late 80's or so when they had to start cutting corners to compete with real offshore junk.
The build quality of their early stuff is astounding.
