Well Doug, I agree that the quality and workmanship of all TVs, radios, test equipment, ect. was fantastic up until the Japanese, and other countries really started to catch up to the Americans, and then surpass our abilities. Yes, I know i'll get many comments about that, but its true. Americans really have dropped the ball, and I'm not saying thats a good thing either. That goes for American cars as well. I'll probably get kicked off the forums for saying this, but American cars are probably the worst product this country manufactures. I'm not some sort of ex patriot or anything, but its a real shame whats become of American design.
When I say design, I mean it in an esthetic sense, Doug, and I didn't mean to insult you or anything of that sort. I guess what I should have also stated is that I believe American design in a
mechanical sense really is quite good, and being an American, I'm very proud of that. We definitely can build things that last, and work day after day. Look at how easy it is to get a 50 year old tv set to work perfectly in just over an hour or so.
I guess my main point is that American's have dropped the ball with fine technology, and with esthetic design. I believe there are many reasons why this problem exists, but I wont go into it, as this is a TV forum
