Yes...

I've seen many products that were NOT from the companies that "used to be".

A LOT of RCA branded TV's were made by Curtis who had licensed the name.

Still trying to figure why they say to use the NEC codes when programming
universal remote controls.

Not sure about Electrohome...

the TV's were Mitsubishi for a while but I think I read something about
turntables/phonographs being manufactured again by someone who acquired the
rights to the name.

Now if LG would start to use the Zenith name (I hear LG bought Zenith)...

"the quality goes in before the name goes on"
