Are you sure? My records tell me that the Orion-branded CRT TVs have always been made by Orion and never by anyone else. Maybe they used Zenith picture tubes back then, although I highly doubt they do, but the TVs were definitely not made by Zenith. The first Orion-branded TVs launched in 1993 in the United States as an exclusive Wal-Mart store brand. It's surprising to see the Orion brand came late to the market, but the Orion company has been around for years.
Unless you are referring to the Zenith TVs with Orion CRTs that were made in Korea or the TV/VCR combo one?
