The larger of the latter companies were also often referred to as "The BUNCH" from their initials (Burroughs, Univac, NCR, CDC, Honeywell).
Notable manufacturers outside the USA were Siemens and Telefunken in Germany and ICL in Britain.
Shrinking demand and tough competition caused a huge shakeout in the market in the early 80s—RCA sold out to Univac and GE also left; Honeywell was bought out by Bull; Univac merged with Sperry to form Sperry/Univac, which was later merged with Burroughs to form Unisys Corporation in 1986 (dubbed "dinosaurs mating").

The Televisor sold in 1930-1933 is considered the first mass-produced set, selling about a thousand units, and is a highly sought-after collectible which most people wouldn't even recognize as being a television set.
The first commercially made electronic television sets with cathode ray tubes were manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934, followed by other makers in Britain (1936) and America (1938).
The cheapest of the pre-War World II factory-made American sets, a 1938 image-only model with a 3-inch (8 cm) screen, cost US$125125, the equivalent of US$11,732 in 2005.
