Good riddance I say. Over the years many dealings with Philips brown goods have been a travesty of errors YMMV of course.

I'm surprised they have lasted so long, I was let down by the unreliable TV
product many years ago several times.

Not many dealers have their TV sets for years now.

A classic case of innovative design, but poor execution and quality control.
In many ways its the same stroy as many of the old UK manufacturers.

And rightly so. After two excellent sets, my third CRT one died just
outside warranty with a major PS fault which made it uneconomic to repair.

No more Philips products for me.

The ellipsis was intended to allow for other names. Pye would also be
in there.

The name Marconi is still being kicked around as well. How are the
mighty fallen!
