Chaz,

>>They actually made extra-cheap versions of things for export to the US that would never be sold in Japan.

I think it was Panasonic that wanted to enter the U.S. Market for TV's but the cost of establishing a chain of repair stores was prohibitive so they did the only thing they could: Build TV's that didn't need to go to the repair shop. I have a portable Panasonic TV that was purchased by my dad in 1970 (I think) that still works, which is remarkable considering it still has the original tubes.

Cheers,

Norm
