Seems like I've seen US made RCA's from well into the 90s-certainly their consoles.
I think that Sony plant in PA was the former VW plant?
The Three Rivers plant was still around early in the 2000's, doing contract assembly for Samsung for one. You should be able to find the story on the web-apparently, their congressman got a bill put in that levied a tariff on all Chinese-made TV sets, and the proceeds were to be divided amongst all the American-owned TV manufacturers. (which consisted of, well, Three Rivers!) That would have kept them alive but the deal fell through so I don't know what happened from there.
In 1990 my father bought a new GE and my grandfather bought a new Sylvania. Both were assembled in the US.
