Sweet 1974 Sylvania Color set

[DavGoodlin]

As I recall, Sylvania had a CRT plant first in Emporium, PA then later a modern plant in Seneca Falls, NY. Thier color bright 85 replacements outsold RCA at our local parts house. i usually chose RCA for an RCA set, IIRC.

The RCA CRT plant in Lancaster PA (here I am) and Marion Indiana were also developing a better phosphor

All these locations are nowhere near big cities. Those Engineer-Physicist types hated cities and I can understand why.

Unfortunately all the old timers I meet from this RCA plant worked in power tubes and orthicons.
