1983 RCA 13" Color EJR338WR

Why do you assume most of the parts were imported? I know for a fact that the filter capacitors, flybacks, CRTs, and most semiconductors were USA-sourced in the CTC117. Sure, some of the assemblies might have origin in Taiwan by 1983 but largely this is an American TV set. The cabinet plastics were fabricated by Dow chemical co. as I recall.

You know, I just read a few days ago that RCA was the only US company to make their own glass bulbs for CRTs, so I should have known better.
