Back in high school, my junior year history teacher (Bill Hector) worked for zenith. In fact, his father was the VP for zenith in the 1960s-70's. When he was in high school, he worked on the assembly line for the color TV chassis (around 1963). The sets were built so good, the employees had a little gag line, "The quality stayed in before the name fell off" I got a good laugh at that.
He told me his father the former VP would have be discusted to see what happened to the name. He was glad his dad wasnt around to see it happen.

He was a cool teacher, whenever he had a story about how american companys were, it was always about zenith because they were the absolute best. Treated the workers great and produced a great product. What could be better? True quality with out compromise!
