I saw quite a few AOC TV's in the '90's and I wasn't impressed with them. Most of the ones I found had bad flyback transformers and replacements were usually not available, not even in a generic brand.
AOC= Admiral Overseas Corporation. Which was the Asian arm of Admiral (which has outlived the USA parent company). And survived as an independent company when Rockwell sold off Admiral.
