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.

it's kind of a circular argument, or question, Everett.
yes, I saw some RCA dvd players in the GrossMassMarketRetailer's "audio-video" section, but as this thread points out, the RCA nametag on the units means virtually nothing. RCAs are being sold. I'd suspect the connection to the historic company is tenuous at best.

Actually, RCA was owned by Thomson. Philips owned Magnavox, Sylvania and Philco.
GE, although their appliance and medical divisions are still self-owned, merged their consumer electronics division with RCA's in 1986 and sold the lot over to France. Thomson, in turn, has sold RCA to China's TCL. Sad thing: the head of the Chinese company that absorbed RCA didn't even know who Nipper was.
