Nowaday names don't mean much

[peverett]

Does the company RCA even exist any more? It was my understanding that it is just a name owned by someone now. The previous owner was Phillips, but I am not sure who owns it now

Two my knowledge, there are only three of the major old line(pre WWII) electronic companies that still presently exist in independent form. These are Motorola, IBM, and GE. To my knowlege, Philco, RCA, Zenith, etc. are just names owned by other companies at present.
