'50's British manufacturing of tv's

[Sandy G]

Interesting you should bring this up- I just got thru watching on Youtube RCA's 1950s color presentation of how THEY made TVs in the Fifties as well-"HOW IT'S MADE:1950's Televisions".... Kinda sad watching it in a way, since hardly ANY consumer grade electronic stuff is made in America anymore... I dunno when RCA stopped making TVs here, I bet it was in the Eighties, & likely all the lovely -and EXPENSIVE factories & facilities they used are long since gone as well, prolly strip malls & burger joints, maybe public housing now..... I know these films are sort of corporate propaganda, but if they did a tenth of the testing & checking they claimed, its no wonder we still have so many 1950s-'60s color sets still around...I can't imagine the Sumitomo/Itchipuse' Co, Ltd of Bangalore going to the same lengths RCA did back then...
