FYI, Emerson Electric is an altogether different company, HQ in Missouri. Emerson Radio & Phonograph co. was their name at the time they bought DuMont. Allen B. Dumont was hired by Fairchild Camera, freshly robbed of the U.S. camera market by the "trade not aid" blunder pursued by Ike's administration. It was DuMont's lab that was the genesis of Fairchild's semiconductor business, whose employees included a future founder of Intel!

Oddly enough, a company called National Union Electric bought Emerson shortly after Emerson acquired Pilot Radio from Jerrold, of all people! They continued selling all three brands, but suddenly fired everyone making TV's and sold re-badged Admirals!

It only gets worse, with new owners contracting GoldStar and Orion to make everything since the 1980's. So sad it's all been reduced to importing stuff from third-world factories...
