my son is a supervisor for a company that refurbishes electronics. you are right about funai. he told me that they may as well toss em when they are new. about 50% are defective when they get it. he is really dismayed about the state of this. i let him check out my zenith chromacolor set from 1974. went through it with a fine tooth comb and is amazed with the quality. he grew up around these things but never realized these issues. sad truth is-plasmas,lcds,etc,are creeping up on that 20-30% range also. his daily watcher is a toshiba i bought him for his 10 th birthday. 27",remote long gone- plays 24-7 never turns it off. he is now 25 and this set still looks as good as the day i brought it home. my roundie project also is something he has observed. cant believe the circuitry,etc. i just wish i could keep it together!! breaks down constantly!!!
