   Lithuania or anything like that,  But it was a Budrik TV.  Jos. Budrik sold   
   radios and TVs on Chicago's southwest side, primarily to the Lithuanian   
   community.  The TV was    
   actually a RCA but it said Budrik on the picture tube bezel where the old RCA   
   meatball would be.  Nowhere was there any external indication that it actually   
   was a RCA set.

   shorted out while I was watching Star Trek, the one with Nomad, the renegade   
   space probe.  It was a damn shame, I remember Kirk and Spock grabbing a   
   confused Nomad and --- the    
   picture went dark!!  Sheesh!!!

   such as Admiral or Motorola or Zenith.  Whatever.  The TV actually held up   
   pretty good, it was 10+ years old when it failed.  That's not bad for TVs back   
   then.  I wish I got a    
   picture tube for it back around 1980 when all the shops were throwing alot of   
   those old tubes in the dumpster.

   learned to speak standard English and were buying their TV sets at Polk   
   Brothers.  Or, sometimes, Sears.
