I don't think Linytron was anything more than marketing. Possibly even just to confuse
customers as sounding like Trinatron.... Sharps that did not have the linytron name on
the front seemed the same inside.....
I'm more than sure it was possible to run a confusion scam like this easy. I am also in
marketing, and it's amazing that even if you watch "Verizon Fios" commercials 20 a day,
8 days a week, for 6 years, customers will still ask, "Well can I upgrade my TWC internet to
get Fios....?" I guess customers need to be shown the differentiation between the Two different
Companies, as it seems they think that Fios is a different type of "Service" TWC and Verizon
both offer....
During that Linytron time period Panasonic I believe had Quintrex, Toshiba had BlackStripe,
etc, etc.... It was all just an inline tube, and I'm pretty sure they had all switched to black
material of some kind between the color dots.....
As for the flyback thing.... My 1985 Linytron 25" "Protable" with real simulated wood grain
finish... !!! I had got because someone threw it out down the street from me. It had
chard circuit board under the flyback and arced under there as well. I cleaned it and
removed the parts of the board that was damaged, then hand wired that part back.
She has worked well as our daily use set since about '92, 5+ hours a day, almost every day.
On remotes, Sharp had wired remotes for a lot of their VCR's and those remotes back then
didn't do all that much....... Linyton sets came out for the most part after my short
tv repair career, so I don't know what the official poop was on that name.... But I put
my chips on marketing scam.
