Yes, They tried to make the sets sound real cool by using 2000 or 2001, Guess they thought it would make up for the high price!
I was in high school in the late seventies and could in no way afford a GR-2001 when new. Heck, Even the optional cabinet was beyond my financial reach! I did enjoy building one at the time for a friend of the family but that was as close to owning one that I got.
At the time, You could buy an RCA or Zenith new fully built with cabinet for less than the basic 2001.
That still didn't change my desire to obtain one, Even years later!
I guess there is something I enjoyed about building one from a kit.
I used to go to the store on 8 mile to purchase test equipment kits and always would stop by the tv display and try to figure how I could afford it!
