I am guessing here but I suspect the collector value will only go up due to the easy design to keep running and small size to that takes up little space.
My latest one has the slotted mask which I think is almost as bad as the huge holes used in the early ones.

Like I said in my last entry, they didn't get any respect, even from me.
As a member of this forum, it piqued my interest in them, as an important part of the electronic history.
One of the service engineers at the GE distribution center, stated the design was revolutionary and would set the trend in the smaller sized and less expensive color sets.
