LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Mr. Editor :It hardly seems possible that you, a, ,litor

of MESD, could publicize this article called"The Power of the Printed Word" in yourlatest issue.

I take exception to Mr. Wes Keys in Wal-nut Creek, and his replacing 27 tubes on thebasis of a $35 tube tester. The market isflooded with $35 tube testers of the emissiontest variety. the worth of which is doubtfulto most experienced electronics technicians.It sounds to me like Mr. Keys using this kindof equipment sold tubes to customers thatdidn't need replacement. Here we're attempt-ing to clear the trade of the fast buck techni-cian so-called and you glorify some Joe Magicoperation.

I have absolutely no quarrel with the check-ing of all tubes in a set and giving the custo-mer his money's worth of service. Your pointin this respect is well -taken. However, if heuses rinky-dirk test equipment he does a diredisservice to his customer as well as the reput-able dealer or technician. Thanks very muchfor the great magazine.

Your very truly,J. D. KemptonPinaly TV

Our mistake-a note from Wes Keys statedthat the portable tube tester was $75, not $35.as reported in our February issue.

Editor

Gentlemen:An ad, or write-up you had in the March

issue, page 6, Don Martin, has come to ourattention. It pertains to Atlas Television inOrange County,and notes the trouble they arehaving. We here at Atlas TV. so very closeto Orange County, and serving Orange Countyin some cases, feel that there should be alittle something mentioned to readers thatAtlas Television in Orange County is not thesame Atlas TV working out of Bellflower.

Maybe our thinking is wrong, but we havebeen in the business long enough that wehave a good reputation, and we feel that awrite-up like you had on the other Atlascould very well hurt us a little. As it is, wehave been hurt enough by this same AtlasCo. in Orange County. Please consider ourside.

Sincerely,Roger R. PatzleAtlas TV

Glad to make sure we have the right AtlasTV. Thanks for the note.

The Editor

Dear Mr. Martin:You will be pleased to know that the Cali-

fornia Federation of Women's Clubs-a state-wide organization of some 60,000 women-hasendorsed SR 233, extending the life of theBureau of Electronic Repair Dealer Registra-tion.

We provided information on this bill to theorganization, were pleased with the outcome,and glad to see the endorsement publicizedin the attached news article.

Sincerely,Helen NelsonConsumer Counsel

Mr. Don J. Martin:I typed a copy of the front cover page of

MESD, December issue. "One Solitary Life,"and sent it to Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. Ireceived from him a very commendable letterof acknowledgment.

Carl J. BergerOmega Electronics Mfg. Co.

Dear Mr. Martin:In your editorial ill the March issue you

asked how dealers feel about the registrationlaw. The answer is I hate it and I wish youwould actively seek its repeal during thissession of the legislature.

The registration charge is exhorbitant. Al-though the legislature limited the fee to $50the bureau collected $70 last year under thepretext that their fiscal year begins on July 1.A doctor's license costs $12 a year, a con-tractor's license $12 for two years. The fee isdiscriminatory against the small dealer whohas to pay the same amount as a big corpora-tion with a fleet of trucks and an army oftechnicians. Packard Bell has even been ex-empted from this law. Why is only the smalldealer harrassed and exploited?

The law requires a dealer to give a writtenestimate before proceeding with the job. Any-body who knows the complexity of electroniccircuits will agree that this is often impos-sible. The dealer might quote a price for thereplacement of a defective power transformeror picture tube and then discover that thepicture rolls and pulls after he restores theraster. On the other hand, the set owner isentitled to know what his obligations arebefore he agrees to a lien on his set. Thisconflict can be resolved legally without theneed of a registration law. The parties shouldhave a choice of two types of contracts:

1. The set owner agrees to have the neces-sary repair work done without a previousestimate. He will lie entitled to an itemizedbill after completion of the job.

2. The dealer quotes a standard chargebased on a statistical average of repair costs.If, for instance, he completed 1000 repair jobsduring the last year, he paid out $15,000 torun his business and he hopes to earn $50(X)for his work, lie will have to charge $20 flatrate for every job. The customer who needs apicture tube today might only need a fuse ora small tube three months later. The setowner gets his set repaired at a price agreedto in advance. He will not be entitled to anyexplanation concerning the nature of the workperformed just as it is none of his businesswhat the dealer pays for the parts.

The whole problem is one of economicsrather than of ethics. Out of 7000 dealers onlythree had their license revoked, a percentagetoo small to justify the legal harrassment andfinancial burden to the rest of honest dealers.But the economic fact is that while pricesfor electronic equipment decline due to auto-mation, printed wiring boards and modules.the difficulties of its maintenance increasesand a solution to service problems sometimescan only be found after expensive and time-consuming testing. The benefit to the setowner is the same if you repair a set byputting in a fuse or a picture tube. Thequestion is, will the law allow a service dealerto compensate for losses on difficult and un-profitable jobs, bad debts, etc., by chargingmore for the quick and easy ones? Consider-ing the unpredictable nature of many prob-lems an electronic repair dealer runs into.I think in all honesty he has right to thiskind of levelling of charges just as an insur-ance company insures good and bad risks andcollects the same premiums from every policyholder whether he presents a claim or not.

Sincerely yours.Gunter RothschildTelevision DoctorBerkeley, Calif.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

By DON MARTIN

PICTURE TUBE GRADING SYSTEMINTRODUCED IN STATE LEGISLATURE

Almost a year ago we proposed a system of gradingpicture tubes in an effort to protect the Television ServiceDealer from rebuilders who might be practicing the gameof "what's new" in the picture tube. For years this hasbeen a problem of our industry and there seemed to be noway in which to correct the situation. Several manufac-turers of re -built picture tubes misrepresented their productas new when actually it was not. This meant that the dealeroften found himself in the position of selling poor gradesof tubes to their customers and being forced to replacethese tubes within the one-year warranty period. Of course,these manufacturers or their distributors replaced the tube,but no one replaced the cost of the labor involved in takingout the defective tube and replacing it with another.

Almost two years ago the FTC recognized this practiceby rebuilders and passed a regulation whereby the manu-facturer was forced to label what was new and what wasused on the carton, tube and warranty cards. This was fine,except that it was only effective as inter -state commerceand had no power over manufacturers selling in Californiaonly. It even became a practice to use this FTC label onCalifornia manufactured tube cartons even though the prod-uct did not represent what the label stated.

In proposing the grading system in Sacramento to theBureau of Electronic Repair Dealers Registration, we feltthat such a regulation would "back up stream" and if thedealer was forced to label the new or used parts in thetube he was installing he would, in turn, force the manu-facturer to label the tube for him. What has been theresult of this action? The dealers themselves have beenforced to make up labels and insert them on their invoicesto comply with the regulation and the so-called rebuilders.along with some of the distributors, have completely ignoredthe law and have so stated to others in the industry.

What this leads up to is that Philip L. Soto, Assembly-man. 50th district, has just introduced Assembly Bill 1555to the State Legislature and it has been referred to thecommittee on governmental efficiency and economy. Thisbill follows the grading pattern we developed, which is nowa part of the Bureau of Electronic Repair Dealers Registra-tion, and makes it mandatory that any manufacturer sellingpicture tubes in the state of California will be forced tolabel them by grade.

Actually the Bill states: "No manufacturer or distributorof television picture tubes shall sell any such tubes unlessthe television picture tube or container thereof is labeledto indicate which parts of such tube are not new, accordingto the following schedule:" The schedule of grades thenfollows.

We want to commend Assemblyman Soto for his leader-ship in this proposed law and assure him that we will befollowing this development throughout the session. Wewould also like to volunteer to attend any hearing or meet-ing in this regard and to do everything possible to have itpassed into law.

Assemblyman Soto is a former Television Service Dealerin Southern California and is very well qualified to under-stand and appreciate the value of such legislation to thedealer and to the consuming public.

THE NONSENSE OFINCREASING TUBE TYPES

One of the biggest complaints heard from dealers through-out the country is the nonsense of increasing tube types.Although I don't believe that anyone really knows the ex-tent of what is happening or the extent of the lines, itseems to me that it is becoming sadly out of proportion.

We know that every time a new circuit is developed bya major manufacturer it is copied by another, with a fewslight changes to get around patents. Whether or not thecircuit is improved seems to he a matter of discussion, but,regardless, it means the design of new tubes and the con-tinued addition of types on the dealer's shelves.

This change in circuits doesn't hurt the manufacturer,because he designs the tubes into the set. The tube manu-facturer is eager to have additional types to keep salesgoing. Those who get hurt are the dealer, who must takeinventory of these tubes, and the distributor, who finds him-self in the same boat, with the problems of having obsoletetube types and trying to locate which new tube type fits intowhat circuit in whose set. Whether or not a set of standardsfor tube types is possible we don't know, but it seems tome that some action should be taken by the industry to setits own standards. If not, I'm afraid that some governmentalagency is going to make the Industry do the job and I'msure that the majority of us would rather do it ourselves.

CSEA TO INTRODUCE DIRECT MAILSALES PROGRAM FOR MEMBER DEALERS

A series of direct mail cards have been designed andok'd for distribution to all members of CSEA throughoutCalifornia. These cards will act as direct mail advertisingfor shop owners and are designed for use by the memberto help stimulate his own business.

The series of four cards feature different types of TVtroubles and request that customers call for further informa-tion. For example, one card pictures a doctor examining atelevision set, with the words "IS YOUR TV SICK?" boldlyimprinted on the card. "CSEA members are not licensedto practice medicine, but can diagnose TV troubles . . ."says the caption. Another shows a double picture on a tele-vision screen, with "ARE YOU SEEING DOUBLE?" inlarge black letters below. The caption reads, "Don't callyour optometrist! Call us now-for a complete antennacheckup .. ."

The cards will also feature the CSEA membership insigniaand will promote the Association membership as well as theshop. Further mention will be made of the registration lawsand that all CSEA members are registered with the Stateof California.

The cards will be available with the dealer's own storeprinted on the card for less than 20, each delivered to thedealer's shop. The minimum order is 500, and will be billedprior to printing with delivery guaranteed within two weeksof the receipt of the order.

At the present time, 10 dealers have ordered cards, andthe first print order will go in this week. The program isopen to any member shop anywhere in the state, and samplecards along with order blanks will be sent out in the nearfuture.

Never before couplers like these! New Winegard Super Color Couplers

... the 2 most efficient TV -FM 2 and 4 set Couplers ever built! Constant Isolation between sets ... 22db minimum across all

channels (2-13 and FM) Lowest Loss of Any Coupler ... - 3.2db maximum Best Impedance Match from Antenna to Coupler and Set to

Coupler

Allow Best Possible Reception on Color or Black & White SetsThere is a wide difference in the performance of TV -FM couplers.And now, with the new Winegard 2 -set and 4 -set Super ColorCouplers, there is a greater difference than ever.

For example, no resistors are used for isolation of outputs. Noresonant coils are used in the circuit. Instead, our research labshave developed an entirely new coupler circuit using three highfrequency, ferrite core transformers in a unique "Balanced Bridge"circuit.

What does this do to performance? Well, for one thing, the 2 -setSuper Coupler provides an isolation figure of 22db minimumacross all channels (2-13 and FM). Until now, the minimum isola-tion between sets with 2 -set couplers was about 10db or 3 times,and was not constant on all channels. With the new Super ColorCouplers, it's 12.8 times-four times better than the previous best.In fact, isolation is so good, you can put a dead short across oneset of output terminals without affecting the set connected toother output.

LOSS is another key factor in measuring the performance ofa coupler. The lowest possible theoretical loss in a 2 -set coupleris -3db but no coupler on the market had ever approached thisideal. Now, with Winegard's new 2 -set Super Coupler (CC200),the MAXIMUM loss is -3.2, nearly perfect and by far the beston the market.

One more very important factor=IMPEDANCE. There aretwo impedance matches to consider ..."Forward" from coupler to antenna,and "Backward" from set to coupler. Aperfect coupler would have a VSWR of1.1:1 on both matches. Some couplershave good match one way but, untilnow, no coupler ever had a good matchboth ways. Winegard Super Couplershave a near perfect VSWR of 1.2:1both forward and backward . . . and onall channels. This far exceeds othercouplers on the market.

What does all this mean to your customers? Most important,it means that the Super Coupler will not spoil picture resolutionby adding smear or halos. The Super Coupler is especially recom-mended for color installations where preservation of picturequality is even more critical than on black & white.

What besides performance? Construction and price. The newWinegard Super Color Couplers have a unique 5 -way mount, sleeknew weather-proof coupler housing, pre -notched transmission lineoutlets, 1/4" slotted Hex terminal screws and no -strip terminalconnections ... the price is only $4.50 for the CC200 which includesthe special inside -outside mount.

with his representative in Southern California, George Bussman. Representing the Indus-try was Hugh Wilkins of CSEA, who stated that the law itself, except for the registra-tion, was actually a draft of the CSEA Code of Ethics and could be followed by anydealer who was honestly interested in his Industry and the public image of hisprofession.

FUSARO, CRAWFORD AND 110Y NOMINATED FOR CSEA BOARDThe Zone "B" Council of CSEA have nominated Mike Fusaro of San Francisco, AllenCrawford of Oakland and Lee Hoy of Marin for the three seats on the statewide Boardof Directors. Although not officially elected until the April meeting of the Council, itlooks as if these gentlemen will be representing that Zone on the Board.

INSURANCE DEADLINE EXTENDED UN11L AUGUST Ist

The CSEA insurance program, now in force and due to expire the first of April, has beenextended until August 1st. In the meantime every effort will be made to determine thevery best program available and a recommendation will be made at a later date.

VINCE THORPE ADDRESSES PASADENA CIIAPTERThe annual installation dinner of the Pasadena Chapter of CSEA had as its guest speakerMr. Vince Thorpe, Assistant Attorney General of the Fraud division. In response to aquestion as to the effect of the new registration law he stated that in the last yearhe has received hardly any complaints of criminal fraud, whereas before the law waspassed his office was loaded with complaints. He further added that the Better BusinessBureau in Los Angeles County now reports that the Television Service Industry that wastops in the number of complaints for years has now dropped to fifth place. He commendedCSEA and the other service organizations, along with the BBB for their part in helpingto solve this major problem.

CSEA BOARD TO MEET APRIL lth IN L.A.A special meeting of the CSEA Board of Directors will be held on Sunday, April 4th, inLos Angeles. The time and place will be sent directly to the members by the Stateoffice prior to the meeting.

SUN DOWNERS LEAVING 11IE INDUSTRY -The Board of Equalization reports that the decrease in applications for resale licensesto do business as TV service men has been fantastic. Before the registration law wentinto effect the Board had on file over 33,000 individuals listed as television servicemen, and this list was used for the original BERD registration solicitation. However,the cost of the registration fee seems to have discouraged these people from returningto the practice of part time servicing. The Board's list was also an active source forlocating un-registered dealers, and it is believed that these peoples would have beendetected within a short period of time as doing service business without beingregistered.

PACKARD BELL SUIT TO BE REVIEWEDThe recent law suit filed by Packard Bell to release its factory service business fromregistration under the law is being appealed by the BERD and is now under considerationby the courts. However, if the registration law is renewed there is every reason tobelieve that a regulation will be passed to include any firm doing television servicework regardless of whether or not it is under a warranty. Packard Bell was able to goaround the law by applying its contractor's license and warranty service.

/ONE "F" ELECTS OFFICERS, NOMINATES DIRECTORSThe Zone "F" Council elected Everatt Pershing as the new zone Chairman, with EmmettMefford being named as vice chairman. Virgil Gaither was re-elected secretary, and JimmyScarborough was re-elected as treasurer. Nominations for CSEA Board of Directors includeRalph Johonnot, Emmett Mefford, Howard Singer, Abe Bower, Hugh Wilkins and CappLoughboro.

ADMIRAL. WARRANTY PROGRAM ANNOUNCED IN ERRORIn last month's issue of MESD we reported the Admiral parts and labor warranty as it wasdiscussed at the last CSEA Board of Director's meeting. However, it has been learnedthat this program has never been considered for California.

ELECTION OF MAIM OFFICERS HEM RECENTLYThe presidency of the Marin CSEA chapter has been copped by Al Cox, owner of Cox TV inSan Rafael. Cox' cabinet consists of Vice President Art Keys, also from San Rafael;Secretary -Treasurer Oakley Dexter of Larkspur; and Delegate Alternate Fred Salcedo ofKentfield.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

LEGISLATION MOVING RIGHT ALONG

BY RALPH JOHONNOT

PRESIDENT CSEA

It's a good thing that the presidentis only normally elected for one yearbecause if any of you had to write anarticle each month you would knowhow soon you would run out of topicsto cover. I think that I've covered mosteverything but sex and since this is nota girlie magazine I had better keep itclean.

Things are happening in CSEA fastand furious so I'll try to bring you upto date on our doings. First, as youall probably know our legislation onDealer registration goes before the Sen-ate and Assembly this spring. At thepresent time it has passed the Senatehearing committee and passed with afive to one recommendation to go beforethe Senate, but first has to go before thebudget and finance committee. Thisshould offer no problem however sincethe law is self-supporting and has notexceeded the budget set up by the Bu-reau. After budget and finance it willgo before the Senate and Assembly.Reports you have probably heard indi-cate that consumer complaints on fraudare decreasing as the unethical dealeris being eliminated. False and mislead-ing advertising will shortly become thetarget of the Bureau I am assured.

Next, of interest to all of you whoare finding business a bit slow . . . The

consumer atl%erti:ity cards are nowbeing printed. An attractive two-colorcard imprinted with your name and ad-dress with real punch and bringing outthe fact you are a CSEA member. Pricesand availability are covered elsewherein the magazine. Also. the "Ten reasonswhy" membership drive cards are offthe press and available from the Stateoffice.

On Sunday, March 21st, the executivehoard met in the Fresno office to covermany ideas including our June 5th and6th convention in Fresno. This will heour tenth anniversary of CSEA and areal whing-ding is planned with hospi-tality rooms, barb-b-que, and a goodrelaxing weekend is in store. so markyour calendar now and make sure youplan to attend.

For any of you who wish a copy ofthe dealers registered in the state-thenew 1964-65 dealer directory is avail-able by sending $2.08 to the Bureau ofElectronic Repair Dealer Registration.1020 "n" Street, Sacramento, California.

A final reminder that the Board ofDirectors will meet at the Sky VillaMotel, 5001 W. Imperial Hwy., Ingle-wood, California, on April 4th and allmembers are invited to attend and seethis group in action.

attach FormsThe factors involved in figuring income tax or a feelere- vay their taxes in advance is not as much of a disadvan-vision repairman are not so easy as a person might be. led to believe. However, there are ways to make this task con-siderably easi:.r.

Even servicemen who consult accountants or lawyers whenpreparing their returns should know a few things aboutincome tax. A knowledge of the procedures involved mayhelp a repairman keep more efficient records during theyear, and mace it considerably easier to prepare tax returns.A knowledge of record keeping, calculating depreciation.estimating taxes, and figuring deducations are found to bethose most significant.

There are vertain limitations on tax return investigations,and they should be noted. They indicate how long to keepyour records. The usual limit is three years; however, itmay be extended to six if more than 25%' of your entireincome is not reported for any reason. Since the InternalRevenue Service has a few years after the date your returnwas due to begin questioning. why be in a hurry to disposeof old records? If no evidence of fraud is found, there isno limitation

There are no requirements as far as the method used tokeep your books, except that you use your regular method.However, to make your bookkeeping more efficient andeffective, follow these prescribed suggestions:

A-Record your bank statement immediately after receiv-ing it.

B-Pay as many bills as possible by check.C-Keep accurate records of all taxes withheld.D-Maintain records of payroll taxes.E-Classify your accounts.F-Post all expenditures to the correct account.G-Keep receipts for travel and entertainment purpose's.11-Indicate the date of purchase and the cost of all assets./-In a bank account separate from your own, deposit all

business receipts.I-Keep duplicates of your returns.The' fact that self-employed servicemen must estimate and

Cage as it may appear to be. As a serviceman, you need notrun the risk of the penalties that may be charged for anincorrect estimate. There are several ways to avoid them.

You, as a serviceman, must file and estimate if your grossincome is more than $600. This figure should be multipliedby your exemptions, and an additional $400 totalled. Youmay remove all thoughts of underestimating from your mind-if the Internal Revenue finds a payment of less than 70per cent of what it should be, you could possibly receive asix per cent penalty on the amount of the underpayment.If your business year was more profitable than your esti-mated, however, this doesn't mean you will receive a penalty.

A good method for TV repairmen to use when figuringincome tax is to base the estimate on last year's income. Iteliminates any guesswork involved in making the estimate.And although quarterly payments are still being made onyour part, you are not held liable for a penalty at the endof the year if your income exceeds last year's. And if yourincome should fall off during the year, you may file analtered return at the termination of any quarter and payless. Be sure, however, to stay within the 70 per cent limit.The same applies if your income should go up-the amendedreturn is filed and an additional amount of tax is paid.

Your estimate can also be based on the previous year'sincome tax. This plan is similar to the above, except that itmakes no consideration for the current year's deductions.The amount of tax paid the previous year should be dividedby four, and at least 70 per cent is paid each quarter. OnApril 15, you must make up whatever amount is neceessaryto pay your full tax, but there is no penalty.

Known earnings is another basis on which to determineyour estimate. Figure your income for the first quarter,and multiply by four, and you have your estimated annualfigure. Divide your annual tax by four for the quarterlypayment, but he sure you pay at least 70 per cent of theamount quarterly.

Ninety per cent of the tax due on your total current earn-ings may he paid at the quarter's conclusion. This is the

APRIL, 1965 13

BASIC HINTS Continued

most complicated method, but can work to your advantageif your highest rate of income falls during the first quarterof the year, with not much probability of maintaining thatrate. If this does not apply, it may be difficult to pay thehigher amounts later in the year. Your total taxes will beidentical no matter which method you decide to use, butone of these particular methods may work out more effec-tively for you than another.

Before pointing out the variations in the deductions fromof proving deductions. A cancelled check cannot be used forone service business to another, we should make mentionthis purpose. Such a check, at the Internal Revenue Service,does not necessarily mean that a check has been cashed forthe purpose claimed, only that it has been cashed. Invoicesto back up all cancelled checks should be obtained, if pos-sible, for security purposes.

Deductions may be made on several items - telephoneservice, for example. If your telephone is being utilized forboth personal and business purposes, a proportionate amountof its expense may be deducted. The entire cost may bededucted if you have a separate phone for business.

Salaries and wages may also be deducted, if it meetscertain requirements. Their wages must be reasonable, andmust be paid out for specific and necessary work performed.It must also be paid during the tax year. If pay is excessive,only the amount that is not may be deducted.

The expenses of travel, meals, and hotel bills for conven-tions or business that has to do with television servicing arealso deductible. Entertainment, if proven to be for increas-ing business, may be deducted. However, if you decideto have your wife accompany you, you may not deduct herexpel,-f.s as you would your own.

The cost of special education classes to improve your TVservicing skills can be deducted, but any courses, not havingto do with your skill cannot be.

If your business is operated from your home and youown that property, deductions for depreciation may betaken on office space. If your home is being rented, andyour work is located there, you may deduct any costs thatare not paid for by the owner, such as heat, light, repairs,or similar items.

Materials used for operating television service businessare deductible, as well as office supplies, solder, etc.

As long as they have to do with your business, local,state and federal taxes are also deductible, as well as interestpaid or accrued on any debts of your business.

There is an important difference in capital expendituresand regular business deductions. Capital expenditures in-clude money paid out for new property that will have auseful life of one year. This includes money spent for per-manent improvements which either increase the propertyvalue or guarantee it a longer life. A purchase such as thiswould not be considered a business expense.

The "cost -less -salvage" plan is the most common methodof determining depreciation. In this plan, the cost of theasset is recorded, and a useful life is specified. A salvagevalue is then assigned, showing what the property is worthat the end of its useful life. The yearly depreciation figuremay be determined by subtracting the salvage from thecost and dividing the remainder by five.

Every return filed to the Internal Revenue Bureau isadded by one of 50,000 agents to be sure of accuracy. Youwill be questioned about your return if something is foundto be incorrect. If you maintain good records and knowwhat you are talking about, however, you will be able toprovide satisfactory answers if an IRS agent should everfind it necessary to call on you.

TRADE ASSOCIATIONSCONSENT TO HALTUNLAWFUL CONSPIRACIES

Four Philadelphia television and radiitrade associations have consented to anorder prohibiting them from unlawfullyconspiring to suppress competition, it

was announced by the Federal Trad,Commission recently.

The Television Service Dealers Ass,ciation of Delaware County, in Chester,Pennsylvania; the Television ServiceDealers Association of Delaware, in Wil-mington, Delaware; the Allied ElectronicTechnicians Association, in Camden,New Jersey; and the Radio Servicemen'sAssociation of Trenton, New Jersey havealso joined in the order .

The Television Service Association ofDelaware Valley in Philadelphia, by aseparate order, has also been prohibitedby the FTC from unlawfully conspiringto suppress competition.

The first four associations consentednot to carry on any conspiracy or agree-ment that would coerce any wholesaleror other distributor of television, radioor electronic equipment of parts; fromdoing business with or soliciting busi-ness from any class of customers, or toengage in or refrain from engaging inany acts or practices relating to theconduct of his business. The complaintagainst the first four was made because,early in 1960, they banded together andformed the Tri-State Council. A bulletincalled the "Vanguard" was publishedthrough this Council, which proclaimedthe wrongdoings of sales by wholesalersto consumers, and urged members to doaway completely with the wholesaler asa competitor for the business of the cus-tomer, by utilizing collective and com-bined purchasing power, which wouldlimit and control the channels of distri-bution of television, radio, and cleftronic equipment.
