AMEN ! To be honest I could never wrap my brain around the RCA
SCR, ITR sets but they never gave me trouble. It was bizarre but
reliable & serviceable. Also you could get help easily & without
being abused. All the US sets had great tech help if you needed it.
It took the Japanese years to learn that & to supply parts
in a timely manner.
Who used SCR's ? All I remember is Sony with the single GCS
and RCA, Philco & Heathkit with the RCA set-up. Did I forget any ??
