Goldstar is a subsidiary of LG just like Zenith is. Before Zenith went bankrupt, LG owned 58% of them. So the bankrupcy cost them a ton of money because the 58% of Zenith stock they owned became worthless. When LG eventually forked over the money for all the patents & other assets of Zenith, they became the sole owners. It was another sad day in the USA when the last of the American owned TV manufacturers became foreign owned. Greg Gregory B. Smith G & A Electronic Services 2521 N.
