Blame customers.
GEC and Hitachi TVs used to come off the same production line in wales,
the only thing different was the badge.
GEC couldn't sell them and they sold their share of the plant and then
it got closed down.

I remember that 3 decades ago when a 2 models of a VHS video recorder
came off the same production line and were identical apart from the case
cosmetics the badge. Which? tested them both and gave one with the JCV
badge a best buy recommendation and slated the other as rubbish.

they did the same with Fergusson & HMV tv sets - and that was in the '60s.
