RCA & Zenith PISSED AWAY leadership in electronics as much as the Japs swiped it from them...They started listening to Cost Accountants, Brand Managers, other forms of "Business" vermin who convinced them the road to Nirvana was selling to the lowest common denominator..I remember when I was 12-13 or so, about 1969-70, & I was seeing RCAs & Zeniths in "Cut-Rate" stores- All-Mart, Rose's, S.S. Kresge..They started selling "Consuls" w/plastic fronts, vinyl woodgrain over fiberboard...You NEVER saw a Sony or Panasonic down there w/the "Dogs & Cats" like that..They did it to THEMSELVES as much as anything...
