            HISTORYGeneral Electric started manufacturing vidicons in 1965 in Syracuse, 
            New York. In 1978, General Electric, moved the vidicon manufacturing 
            and design to GE's Owensboro location. In 1987, GE sold it's Microwave 
            Products Department to a group of private investors, who named the 
            new company, MPD, Inc. In 1998, MPD Components ceased manufacture 
            of its vidicon products due to decreased demands. Shown below is our 
            current inventory resulting from the last production operations.
