So that makes it Curtis' Telis-Matis Funkin' ?

The most domestic import set and damn well worth it?

The most overpriced domestic import set and not so damn well worth it. Until they went NEC, C-M TV sets were RCA licensee color chassis designs with virtually nothing but extended warranty.

They had their own chassis before using the NEC chassis. It was a strange looking thing that was assembled in St. Kitts, BWI using mostly Japanese parts.
Before that, I've seen them with RCA clone and even that lousy Westinghouse design chassis.
