There were a few discount stores up in NY like Korvettes, Caldor, I think Korvettes had their own house brand XAM, they made a 10" & 12" B&W set that was always on sale for $69. or less, and they sold lots of them, then 5 years later they were all out with the trash.... Simple fixes and they made good pictures, I had a few... ..

K&C also so a 19" color set that was a putrid green color, appeared to be made by Admiral, that they sold for $158. A customer looked at it and the salesman tried switching him to a more expensive model. The buyer said, "it's good enough for my workshop". |

Oops! Sorry, me bad. Senior moment or brain fart or whatever.
Do you remember the suitcase portables? They were made by everybody, Westinghouse, Admiral, Philco, RCA, Sears Silvertone, etc. They had 19 inch 110 degree CRTs and, as I recall, weighed about 50 lbs. All metal cabinet. The RCA one even had a power transformer in it! The Westinghouse one was the first one, I remember, to have the component designations printed on the circuit board. AND, they even matched the SAM's designations on the schematic. Haven't seen one in a long time.
