I lit up a (I lost cont) of my corp. reports at work when the buck and responsibility and the beef of a consequence or a business plan execution contrivance I thought may blow up or don't make money and in any case might come to me or the company unfavorably in a big way and they were were stupid about all not seeing the big picture I may or may not clue them on and at that my final admonishing was :


"Get back to it like I told how it's going down or don't come in tomorrow" and they usually knew I meant it

I thought the late 1930's -1940's Zenith radios and ofc trans oceanics and zenith strats were pretty remarkable broad market and (Zenith STRATS) remarkable limited products ,that is my very high regard for Zenith and I owned and repaired mine , a few of them (no strats ) many decades back in high school and secondary school when folks were giving all that away SRSLY . Never a large collection of anything here ,not my thing but fine for those that do .

TBH TV wise everybody knew US Zenith was among the best like RCA & Magnavox ,and some would say Zenith the best .I considered them 3 equals (my opinion) not a provocation . I had Magnavox and RCA but no noises against Zenith at all .


OTOH most fools didn't know that Zenith only hand wired and long as they did only because they were running broke but given the cheap crumbly PCB for TV's before epoxy PCB that was probably a tangible benefit
those things killed one of my decent picture RCA color TV and I bought a new nice ~@1982 maybe 26" epoxy board Magnavox light wood low boy console MTS stereo 2 side spkr TV but just a TV not a silly combo LOL !

Then Sony Schools them all BIG TIME and for me starting 1994 27" Trinitron and now like my new Samsung 4K HDR 1000 QDOT in the tomb here Samsung is often schooling everyone outside of OLED LOL
Why do I think you are tubetwister, back under a new user name?
