Wow... I would've thought those screw legs would have been gone by the 90's. By then, it wouldn't surprise me if they were using plastic legs instead of wooden. Those cardboard cabinets were far worse than those of the 60's!
I do recall finding a couple of floor model 27" sets in fake wood cabinets within the past decade... they may have been RCA's... don't remember. We were shopping around for a set for my grandmother, but she only wanted a "wood cabinet" television. I found two on the internet (so it would have been no earlier than 10 years ago for me). The two models offered were special order... could not get them in the store. And what was worse, they were about 700 bucks... more than twice that of a black plastic box. My grandmother refused to pay that and said she would just keep the old one. She seems to think the picture is just fine (but it's actually pretty bad). Her macular degeneration is now getting pretty bad, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
