But RCA and GE is one and same
and much better than rest of this junky things on that list but why
RCA (thomson) is NO good?

Some chassis made by Thomson are okay, but there were a few, especially
those
with the infamous horizontal tuner module, that were, IMO, junk. There
are
also a few surface mount parts in various Thomson chassis in critical
sections
which make servicing more difficult.


Well I would agree that they do fail often, though they're a quite solid
design aside from that and the faults are well documented, I certainly don't
mind when one shows up, they tend to be good sets once properly repaired.
