I'm sure many manufacturers had one very spartan set at a price that got people in the showroom. Once they were in there, the customers would see the nicer TVs (at higher prices) and the salesman has a good opportunity to sell up.
I had a 19" Magnavox table model in a metal cabinet that was given to me in the mid 80s. It was a Japanese manufactured set of the mid 70s. The only thing wrong was a 6J6 in the tuner with a bad filament. All of the other tubes were original and I never had to change any more tubes while I owned it. The only other part I replaced was an electrolytic in the voltage doubler circuit. Over ten years of service with only one tube and one capacitor replaced.
