Due to the fact that I am in a working class town, there don't seem to be too many examples of their high end stuff around here. From the products that I have encountered, the quality seems to really have taken a dive around the switch to solid state. I have had a couple of mono table model record players that were built like tanks, as well as some electric fans that were made prior to the switch from 25 to 60 cycles, that are still working very well. I think they were a middle of the road company, not Muntz, but not Zenith either. They seem to have produced a wide variety of stuff ranging from window air conditioners to hifi consoles.

Y'know, come to think of it, my neighbor has a really old table fan with the "finger chopper" style grille on it, and I think it may be an Electrohome. Only other brand it could be(I think)is Westinghouse.
