I recall having two Portland brand TVs from the very early 80s. Both had Orion picture tubes and made very good pictures. One had a built-in clock and LED readout for the electronic tuner, and the other was a pushbutton tuner. The chassis weren't Daewoo, they were made by 'Tahain electric wire co' of So. Korea. Not bad for cheap sets at all.
Also, the early 80s Emersons with the goldstar built chassis. The ones with'GS' stamped into the circuitboards. I'm sure some people have bad experience with those, but both my '83 13" and '85 19" ones were great performers which never needed repair. All of these sets came from the original owners, as I saved them from the trash. I dumped all of these sadly, to make room for older and more American sets.
