These 13" Orion-made CRT TVs generally have been pretty reliable and many are still in operation today, but radiotvnut probably got a lemon. In terms of built-quality and design-quality, I would take an Orion than Funai at any day, since Orion never used plastic case in their DVD or VCR players, Orion's labor always cost more than Funai, and Orion's product always weigh more than Funai. Went to Best Buy and picked up the last Orion-made Toshiba SD-V295 DVD/VCR combo available. There is a new Toshiba SD-V296 that is now made by Funai and made out of plastic. Toshiba finally canceled their contract with Orion for video player production after 7 years, although LCD TV production still continue. Orion no longer makes DVD/VCR combos for the US market.
