Part of the problem may be due to the fact that the RCA and Thomson brands
no longer belong to the Thomson group of France. Thomson has just about
gotten out of the consumer electronics business and many of the products
using the RCA/Thomson logo are coming from an Indian company ( Videocon ) or
a Chinese company ( TCL ). For awhile now I've been seeing Westinghouse and
Sylvania products which are also now products from Chinese companies using
the purchased naming rites of these old US brands.
