Re: 80's TV maker?
Finlandia tended to be Granada's badge of choice for Salora TV chassis up to and including the rare N-chassis. There were certainly a lot of Finlandias flooding the ex-rental market in the Eighties. Not sure if the Finlux Peacock was so badged. As far as I remember that was a retail set that came in with the flood of (to us) obscure European sets in the Seventies colour boom.
I think DeGraaf was sold by Comet. I've certainly seen Sharp VCRs in this disguise from the late Eighties. They weren't just a badge job as the fronts were a bit different, and I think they also were Granada machines. There were also some TVs, Sharp again but possibly others.
