I know, Sears was as bad as Walmart from what I have read ! But unwritten
is ~ Did Sears expect Wells to stand behind the design as far as excessive
warranty work on all their sets....? Did Wells have to carefully balance their
profit with whatever Sears may have tried to stick them with if the set
were to have a chronic problem leading from a design goof....?

I think it was 60 minutes that did a story on Rubbermaid and their dealings
with Walmart when they got into WM. Sounded to me like Sears buying up
companies they starved while working on exclusive deals.....

OOPS I think I got my Wells, and Warwick mixed up.... At any rate, read as
"The company Sears Sourced for the tv..." Sorry....
