Japanese, but try to find a Funai product actually manufactured in Japan.....you probably won't.

Yes, it's sad - but we allowed all of this to happen. Post WWII rebuilding in Japan, consumerism (gotta be smaller, cheaper, etc), and the sell-out of 60's/70's corporations to appease stockholders all led to the demise of the US Consumer Electronics Markets.

I was in our Walgreens earlier this evening - they were putting out Christmas stock - EVERY box had "MADE IN CHINA" printed on it. Sad....
