PCB. Distinct build style. Construction same as the 12' & 19" B&W of that time.
I have never seen any other brand like it at all. Thats out of tens of thousands I have been in. Unlike GE I never seen one rebadged. As far as build quality goes
I stand by that & others in my area agreed. BUT the cabinets were nice.
But a nice cabinet can be a BAD thing to a RTV tech...
Westinghouse had all it took, just like GE to build a world class set bunt didnt.
My brother worked for them in the Nuke division in control rod dept. He
had good words for them.
BTW the chassis number of the roundie is not in Sams either Maggy or W.
