They were the cheapest brand of sets sold in the stores that carried them. I recall 12" B&W and 13" and 19" color sets, all no-frills knob tuned sets. They seemed to disappear once Samsung and GoldStar (now LG) took over the bottom end of the TV market.

Cheap as heck and yet it still works! Probably needs new capacitors though, but if I'm going to do a cap job on something it's probably going to be my 1982 GE or my little 1989 Zenith Space Cube.
