Last TVs Made in America ?

[Spinning Head]

In the late 90s I had a job that took me to a metal fabrication plant in Bensenville (I think). They were making the metal ring band for 27" and 32" Trinitrons. I have no idea where the CRT plant was. But found it interesting that there was some CRT component manufacturing occurring here.

"They were making the metal ring band for 27" and 32" Trinitrons"

Those were really tough bands to cut off the tube!

I found this 2009 article that states that... the Sony US CRT plants were shut down about 5 years before...So that pretty much pegs it at 2004. I was not aware of the Sony facility in Pittsburgh.
