Egrand- thanks for the reminder about which stores got the good sets. That was going on with the RCAs, GEs and Zeniths sold at discount stores in PA as well. We knew without asking if it was a dealer set somehow.
The dealer I worked at in the early 80s sold alot of GE as their "cheap sets". The one knob tuner sets were not so good and neither were many of the late 70s YC, YM, though all were easy to fix they didnt stay that way.
I do remember the griplet sets (AA, AB, AC) as being very reliable ONCE you fed about 10 feet of solder into the griplets.

I didn't have much fun with Sharp and Sanyo sets of that period.
