Curtis Mathes, You Know Where

[jstout66]

yes.... I am certain Curtes Mathes had been an import item for years. I had a late 70's 9" color set that was NEC. I think NEC also made them in the "Expensive, but darn well worth it" era. My grandpa cussed when that ad campaign came out. He said the price was jacked up to support the long warranty. They did have beautiful cabinets tho, and what a brilliant ad campaign. I still remember that, and Sylvania's "Sylvania beat Sony Again?!?" ad where the sumu guy "went off" in Japanese when handed a report on picture quality.
