My father used to own a very early SONY transistor radio which he bought in
the late 1950s or early 1960s. The radio had only AM and SW, but it lasted more than 20 years.
In the 1970s, I made a product suggestion for Skysensor FM/AM/SW radio before buying one. While in high school, I purchased a SONY stereo system, and later a SONY ghetto blaster which had a Multi-Channel TV Sound (MTS).
In the 1980s, I bought a SONY 20" colour TV. I struggled with the choice between beta and VHS for a long time. I eventually decided to buy a VHS model made by SONY as soon as it was introduced.
Later, I bought another SONY VCR when the first VCR, which lasted for 12 years, had its head damaged. I bought another SONY 20" colour TV when the first TV lost green colour after 15 years. The first ones are still used by the kids.
So, I grew up with SONY, and my house is full of SONY products.
At McMaster University in Hamilton (Ontario) CANADA, I attended a seminar on Quantum Wells given by Dr. Leo Esaki who invented the tunnel diode while working for SONY, then won a Nobel Prize in Physics.
