SABA USA distributor was William M. Pany company at 7th and Tilghman, up from TV associates, who sold Zenith.
I worked at Eastern Light co. on Hamilton St, then at Miller and Seng co on Lehigh street, before moving to Texas in '83 after I graduated from Lincoln Tech with AS in Electronics. Really felt I had to leave town, there were no jobs beyond a TV repairman and I was really getting tired of living there. Lots of graduates went to Lutron and Allen Organ, but Bell Labs and Western Electric were not hiring degreed techs, let alone designers.
The Billy Joel song was true then from what I experienced
being under 21 made it suck even more. The best thing about A-town then was it had two cable companies in competition.
