Yep, Sony was founded in 1946 on this day May 7th! For us older members their products dominated our early lives. My first Sony was a portable 1960's TV my parents won somewhere. I was excited by it's tiny size, no other neighbor had one, and the crazy cool build quality where the handle had detents and clicked smoothly into place, the dial turned and also clicked, but moved like smooth like butter. The battery pack was huge but having a portable TV was a kids dream!
Happy Birthday Sony! Big Sony fanboy here, had a lot of Sony equipment over the years, always go back to it as the quality is always there.
