Yeah, the ONLY native manufacturer of electronics from the vacuum tube era that survived in this country. All the others disappeared in the 70's thanks to the government's clumsy decision of forcefully initiate color TV in a moment where the native factories were not ready for it. It was tragic, in 1956 80% of the TV set market was in the hands of those brands, by 1976 they were almost all out of business.
