From America's No.1 Electronics Empire to Ruins: RCA Victor Factory, Camden

Before Silicon Valley, there was Camden, New Jersey. This is the story of RCA Victor, the company that taught the world how to listen and watch. From Eldridge Johnson—the machinist told he was "too dumb for college"—to David Sarnoff, the immigrant who dreamed of a "Radio Music Box," RCA grew from a 17-square-foot shop into a global superpower. They recorded Enrico Caruso, launched the first TV broadcast at the World's Fair, and even put a camera on the Moon. But how did the "World’s Largest Talking Machine Factory" become a parking lot? We explore the $650 million disaster of SelectaVision, the legal battle with Philo Farnsworth, and the corporate "autopsy" by GE that dismantled an American icon in just 24 months.
