Описание: This video is a documentary-style retrospective on the rise and fall of Zenith Electronics, framing it as a "corporate tragedy" that mirrors the decline of iconic American manufacturing. It chronicles the company’s journey from its origins in Chicago under the flamboyant leadership of Commander Eugene F. McDonald Jr. to its peak as the "gold standard" of television, highlighted by innovations like the first wireless remote and the famous "Quality Goes In" slogan. The narrative explores Zenith’s ultimate collapse due to intense competition from Japanese manufacturers, a stubborn legal battle against "dumping," and a bizarre corporate subplot involving the near-destruction of legendary Swiss watchmaking tools. Ultimately, it uses the haunting imagery of Zenith’s abandoned, fire-gutted Chicago factories to illustrate how a household titan was lost to bankruptcy and eventually absorbed by South Korea’s LG, leaving behind a massive "nostalgia gap" between generations.
