  • For review and discussion, a SONY Factory Tour: Televisions, Transistor Radios, Cameras, Trinitron Tube, Tape Recorders, Electronics Products of the 1950's and 1960's. History documentary shows many women factory workers, assembly lines, building, testing, quality testing in an original SONY Corporation promotional film. How may this differ from today's Japanese factories? What is your view? Many vintage SONY electronics products are shown, including first SONY tape recorder, SONY TR 55 Transistor Radio, First Transistorized Television (TV-8) and more. Good narration. Great color!

    I owned the KV-1713. That TV worked for many years. That's when manufacturers built equipment to last. Today, not so much😢

    Wow, when my father bought a trintron in the early 90's I remember thinking the flatness of the screen was un-like nothing before, (aside from projection tvs) but looks like they had it nearly solved from the start.
    ~regardless, in our house it WAS state-of-the-art! :)

      That didn't bother them to lose quality assurance in later 90s models. Everything imported from Dubai went bad pretty soon, at least on post soviet space. So people were paying absolutely steep money for about 5 years of device usage. Whereas absolutely low end Funai/Shaprs/JVC were lasting at least more than a decade

    Very happy times, Sony were a great company to work for, it was like one big family, sadly they've lost their way in recent years, i repaired semi pro video cameras for them at a dealership in Britain, the technical back-up and training were first rate, then, during the late nineties early 2000's the attitude changed, things became much tighter, mistrust and paranoia set in, certain software needed for alignment became very difficult to obtain unless certain conditions were met, glad to be out of it now, and looking back on the good times.

      Here in Australia everyone ditched unreliable European products for much better Japanese ones. When colour TV started here in 1975 the Thorn TVs looked like 1940s tech compared to the Japanese ones, and were as unreliable as if Lucas Electrics had made every single part.

      Hi Videolabguy, According to Wikipedia, the "SONY Logo name is a registered trademark of the SONY Group, a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Minato. The SONY film is likely a promotional piece, made by and for Sony Corp. As far as the current copyright status, it is unclear. That's the best info I have, more research is needed. Hope that helps a bit.

    • @thesteelrodent1796
      @thesteelrodent1796 Год назад +2

      it took a while before they were able to sell them outside Japan, since every country had a bunch of their own companies making TVs and monitors. They were in the US and Canada for a while before we started seeing them in Europe, and especially here in Denmark I can't recall hearing about Trinitron till the near-flat came out in the early 90s. It was and is the same with any other great products that struggled to get a foothold because of local competition and regulation

      They were in Australia from the start of colour TV in 1975. I scrapped quite a few KV1800s with worn out tubes in the 90s. I was also given a KV1830 that after replacing a faulty capacitor turned out to be very low hours, and picture was as good as a mid 90s Trinitron even though it was from around 1978

    • @ran2wild370
      @ran2wild370 Год назад +1

      Probably they did really sell those in top wealth countries as it doesn't seem cheap in any aspect starting from the tube itself and so much stuffed with components.

      unlikely. Danny Glover was born in 1946 and this film appears to have been made in the mid-1960s, so this guy is too old to be Danny Glover

    Trini-ti-ron - what's that all about?
    You had to dig deeper into your wallet to buy a Sony product. It was their ethos and their attention to detail that set them apart. This video encapsulates it quite nicely.
    Panasonic were only a contender up until the late 80's, then they lost their way. They always cut corners, done in a way to be hidden from the consumer's eyes.
    JVC, Toshiba, Sharp, Sanyo - all garbage brands these days if you find anything branded by them.
    If you open up a device, even without the badging to help you, you could always tell a Sony product apart from the other mass-market brands.
    Such a shame what happened to the Japanese electronics industry. They had a pioneering spirit that it seems the Koreans have since dominated.
    Lucky Goldstar - a joke cheapo brand in the 90's, now look at them!
