Always been curious to me that so many foreign sets like this Japanese one here, have English is the printed labeling on parts.

Why, weren't they aimed for our American market? I would of thought so. I've really enjoyed this restoration with it's very nice pictures.

Thank you Kevin! I fully intend to circle back around to this set to finish it up and get it back together, just sidelined by some more pressing projects I need finished for our vintage computer club's festival next month. I wanna see it work right!

Hi folks!
I asked the same question to a japanese friend, just because japanese sets for the japanese market do the same!
In the front or back, most is written in english, before and after the war!

There are no radios with japanese writing on the scale!

My friend told me, that it was a kind of "chic", when written in english!
Only complicated discriptions for using controls are in japanese, when written inside a lid (vintage TV sets of the 50s).

Regards,
TV-collector
