Lynitron was a play on Sonys Trinitron. I would guess
1/3 of Sony owners thought Trinitron was the brand they
had.
The sharp jug is just an early in line. Some were bonded yokes
so probably built under license from RCA. I dont remember if
any were RCA jugs ???
A local shop took on Sharp & he advertized them as "Phony
Sonys". Told people they were the same
This cat was a
real promoter, a story I will tell someday.
Anyhows the shine wore off in a few years when almost every
Sharp burned up the FBT's. He had sold contracts on most &
had to eat a lot of FBT jobs plus what they damaged.
