Consider the 1954 Regency TR-1—the first consumer transistor radio. It started the personal device revolution epoch we are still living through. In this lost film we see the TR-1 being built. The interesting thing is the “format” is still “compatible” in 2019—it still works!pic.twitter.com/0YeLUTDQTm

The sad part, all those factories are dead and their production moved to China :(. And then the funny part is that the same people that allowed this complain about quality.

George, quite correct. If we trace history it is interesting. The first location was Japan. This soon became Hong Kong. A few year later Malaysia. And so on. The reasons are complex but some of the hidden aspects was to “stabilize” areas after and during wars in the region.
