Weird! That brings back some memories; my town had a Singer store when I was small (mid-60's), and even then, I was shocked to find Singer TV sets and vacuum cleaners besides the sewing machines. I also seem to recall them doing some defense work?

I have seen power window switches from Jeeps of the '80s that were made by Singer. Anything for a buck? You know, in the old downtowns where you had a small department store, a hardware store, the Singer store, a Western Auto, Sears & Wards, a couple tire stores, plus the regular tv shops...there were a lot of places to buy a TV set!

I have one of those little guys-Think they were made by Mitsubishi. Pretty good performer, they competed against Sony's 5-303W. Heavy little guy. You woulda thought that the heads of RCA, Zenith, GE, et al, would have had the R&D guy in their office wanting to know where the hell RCA's 5" transistor set was, the day after these things hit the shelves...

Buddy of mine got a Singer cassette recorder (made by Panasonic) for Christmas back in '70. He used it every day for over a decade!

Those little Singers are really neat looking sets indeed. Singer also offered a rechargable battery pack for that set-- which was actually bigger than the TV itself..!
