Add to that the nice DeForest Crosleys that periodically show up. I have not seen any of that brand that I do not like. But I have not seen very many of them.
That is an interesting point about the UK Philcos having many of their components from Philco Canada. If I am not mistaken, wasn't some of Canada on 220V service in the past? And I wonder if Canada sourced the UK with the wood cabinets used by some of the UK Philcos? Wood products and woodworking would have been much cheaper in Canada.
I have not been in Canada for at least 20 years, and that was a day visit with my Georgia-native ex wife who had never been there. We made a dash across the border from our camp in North NY to Quebec, which reminded me after we were there for a couple of hours why I preferred any other Province in Canada to Quebec. No offense to Arran, but I bet he knows what I am talking about.
Canada, at least back in the 70s and before when I regularly went there on holliday, was a wonderful combination of the UK and it's own brand of North American, or should I say, "colonial" life. Yes, and France if one ventured into Quebec....
Absolutely agree that Canada has it's own, well, everything. Many here in the States imagine Canada to be somthing akin to a 51st state, and they couldn't be more wrong!
Canada is it's own country and well worth visiting. You don't even need to learn another language. Well, unless you go to (ahem) Quebec.
