I wonder if, today, the price of a digital tuner wouldn't be close to or cheaper than an old 'click-stop'? But not in the early 80s. I do remember browsing the showroom in the local Zenith/GE dealer about that time. The bw sets I recall were a 12" ac/dc in 'leather' case that was pretty expensive, and an old-fashioned looking 19" Zenith that, for some reason, I fell in love with. I begged & pleaded for my parents to buy it for me (I think it cost around $125 or so, the owner cut the price quite a bit for me so I think he really wanted to move it) but instead I ended up with a 12" Midland from Western Auto. I already had a tv at that time, by the way-a GE color table set from probably 67. Wish I had it now, of course, but at that time it was just so crappy that even bw would be better!
