Sears & Roebuck Color Television made 1984

Sears & Roebuck Color Television made 1984
I have a Sears & Roebuck Color Television made 1984. The back states that the console was manufactured in the USA from components made in Japan. The Model is 564-49100450 The address is given as the Sears Tower, Chicago Illinois. My friend Dennis at the Radio Forum said the set was built by Sanyo back in the days when people still knew how to design good TV's. Sanyo had taken over the assembly plant of Warwick a few years earlier after Warwick literally put themselves out of business by making sets that no one could repair, not even the Warwick engineers. The fact that Sears owned Warwick, and had already been buying some electronics from Sanyo, factored heavily in the changeover.

She works very well for a 26 year old television. Here is a photo of her insides.

I guess you could say this was an American made out of Japanese parts television made in the USA at the Warwick plant.
