Less likely they were just "finding stuff to do" than in competition with their fellow
countrymen in the other Japanese companies inventing new niche areas within their
field to fill..... Japan had many innovations in electronics over the years. The 1 1/2"
color tv was pretty neat though..... I like the little cassette stereos, takin' tunes wit
me while ridin' my bike.....

Sandy is right there are plenty of sets from the 80's well worth collecting even if only
for your own personal reason. I'm slowly getting a nice little collection of Sharp tv's from
'79 on up to '87. I may even end up needing more room for them, and eventually sell off
some of the sets that will be more trouble like my ctc5, and Zenith Roundie.

I can see a day when I get down to a few 80's Sharps, my '58 Emerson's, maybe a few
other 50's metal sets still yet to be found, I would like a 4 tube hybrid Zenith again, keep my
'72 Zenith 20CC50, and the CRT sets from the late 90's and early 2000's we use daily in the
living room, and my office..... Gunna keep my 25" Sharp in the bedroom as long as she keeps running...
