...there is still little git-up-and-go for color among the other setmakers and many dealers. At least 95% of all color sets now being sold are RCAs. For a while, Motorola, General Electric, Admiral and Westinghouse were turning out color sets with RCA tubes, but all have virtually discontinued commercial production.

Westinghouse's new washer-dryers have a hinged panel on the front so the repairman can get at the motor in a jiffy; before, it took two men just to pull the appliance away from the wall. Motorola, G.E., Admiral, RCA, Zenith are redesigning their radios and TV sets, using more transistors in place of tubes, so that they will be more rugged, last much longer...
