DuMont-branded portable color TVs from late 60s

[Penthode]

My parents bought a DuMont 21" B&W TV new in 1962. It was Fairchild branded Dumont and the construction quality was superior to other sets of the period. I feel it was superior to even Zenith.

It was fully point to point wiring with no printed circuits. And what struck me was the neatness of the construction: wiring was arranged neatly with all components neatly arranged.

So from what I can see, under Fairchild's management, DuMont branded sets were still of best quality as late as 1962. I do not know what happened later.

I would suggest the timeframe of the final demise of DuMont may be exagerated and I do not know of any Emerson connection.
