Hey Kevin, forward this to the list, part of my email is down
They took over in Canada around 1998. The USA was just a year or so
ago...I
believe. I know that Zenith was sourcing VCR's in the early 90's. But
they
were just buying them from LG then. The TV's were still 100% North
American
just until a couple of years ago
You USA guys correct me if I am wrong
