Emerson DuMont

[bgadow]

I find the whole Emerson/DuMont story pretty interesting, and think this set is a neat one. I'm glad you could give it a home.

I had been wondering for awhile about the RCA "clones". For instance, would that chassis have been built by RCA or would it be a CTC-12/15 made under license? Something I read this winter points strongly to the latter. It was an article in one of the "trades" dated from around '74. RCA had just entered into the agreement to make sets for JCPenney. It was said that this was the first time RCA made sets for somebody else since, I think, '63. So I think it's safe to say that Emerson built this in their factory using the RCA blueprint.
