No, I've never heard of any Japanese TVs branded "General", and this is the first Japanese roundie I've ever seen. The closest I can come to "General" are the TVs made by the original General Electric Company of Syracuse and later Schenectady, New York, but those were U. S.-made sets. How "General" ties in with the Japanese maker of ita's set, however, is beyond me.
